Sorry for asking an unreasonable, unintelligent question. Mistakenly I thought naval aviators would have some knowledge about how many JSFs they plan to deploy and when - I guess I was wrong.

I'll try asking my questions on an Air Force site next time.

Mr. Siritan needs to get thicker skin or he will not survive in a ready room in the USN or USMC.

The USAF will just use you as a fluffer.

Well ... you are forgiven for being unreasonable, unintelligent, and mistaken. We've all been there once or twice ...

But since you have no sense of humor and can't take any ribbing, to boot ... why don't you stay on the Air Force site ... next time.

I'm sensing tears on this one

I hope you are being sarcastic, cause it's coming off rude. This has been discussed at great lengths already so the search function plus maybe a little googling will get you your info you're looking for.

Ok. We're done.

I heard the M.C. is supposed to get the 35 in about 2011. Anyone have any other information for me?

Look at the link in this thread right here: http://www.airwarriors.com/forum/showthread.php?t=137042&highlight=Marine+Corps+Aviation+Plan. Third post down.

You're welcome for not having to endure Gatordev telling you to do a search. And welcome to the board.

BTW, what's your plan for getting commissioned from being enlisted?

The 2007 Marine Corps. Concepts & Programs guide slates the F-35 for 2013.

Personally, I would say 2013 is very optimistic. Above and beyond the fact that their monster budget is ripe for poaching, it is a very complex project. And if we have to sustain our current GWOT effort, it might be reasonable to expect some changes in defense spending.

^^ agreed. I think it'll have to remain flexible given the wartime environment. I wouldn't be surprised if it was pushed back another couple years.

I dont think the Marine Corps has had an aircraft delivered within 5 years of an advertised date in the last forty years but maybe the F-35 and it's seven consecutive miracles required for flight will be different.

The sole blame for any delays will rest on the shoulders of Congress. LMaero has a really cool facility and they have developed some really cool new technology to build that thing. The line is awesome. My biggest worry about the whole project, from a technical standpoint is that crazy lift fan transmission. Talk about a miracle.
