This looks more like an advertisement for the plane rather than an actual report of what is happening with it or the problems associated. I don't fly but I've played many flight simulators that implement a fully clickable cockpit and advanced flight models meaning I can ramp, taxi, takeoff, deliver weapons, dodge SAM's, dogfight and land. Life in a simulator is easy but being sat in an actual jet is a whole different experience.
If I were to fly you up in a 2-seat F16 and hand you the controls after 30,000 feet, it would be easy to fly as well so not really sure what this "report" is saying. The F35 still has major problems and spiraling prices not to mention the state of our "new" aircraft carrier that needs to be retrofitted so it can launch these aircraft at a huge cost - something BAE lied over and who is picking up the cost of that?
Should I complain how my taxes are going into the pockets of BAE and it's shareholders?
