        Do you know anything about Canadian politics and how Trudeau is flapping aroung trying to avoid saying that he was wrong about the F35, suggesting that the F18 can last until 2032 when more than 50% are grounded already

        It's new and there are likely to be problems until they are fully tested. The concerning thing though is the large number of problems. Let's hope they are mostly minor and all are addressed during testing.

        Its called testing for a reason. Better these things are discovered during testing rather than in operational service. Beware the test plan that discovers no defects...because it will be the plan that is flawed.
