Powering freedom?
Powering nothing…
As a navy f/a-18 mechanic, one thing i hate about f-35s is all the special ground support equipment they need. It just clogs up the hangar bay. The cooling units are LOUD too. They need all kinds of special dollys for their engines, servocylinders, and canopies etc. They have their own nitrogen servicing unit. They have their own hydraulic power unit, except i never saw it used and they just used the T-15 jenny that we use so their one just took up space. It matters because the hangar bay gets shuffled around ALL the time. If SE or other gear is in the way, it has to get moved and then put back when the aircraft are done. It's one of tje most annoying things about being a navy squadron maintainer.
Anyways peak carrier airwing was when we essentially had 3 platforms onbaord:
– Super hornet based: F/A-18E/F and EA-18G
– Hawkeye based: E-2 and C-2
– Seahawk based: MH-60R/S
Simplified logistics, and they basically all use the same SE: Hydraulic power supply, starting units, power cart, nitrogen cart. Hawkeye is bigger and taller than the super hornet so it needed its own jacks of course. Real easy to borrow tools, equipment, parts when you have 5 squadrons with essentially the same aircraft. Could borrow tools from the F-35 squadron, but everything else they had was different.
A few airwings are still set up like this, but nowadays we have one F-35C squadron and the C-2s have been traded for CMV-22B ospreys. As the navy stands up more F-35 squadrons I expect theyre gonna make up a larger portion of the airwings.
"how the F35 flying" 😅
38 billion f’kn dollars man… This what some mfs voted for..
Stick an ice pack on it
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Just dip in the water on low passes, ez
Why were Arabic captions on automatically? I’ve never used that.
Being the tech leader means dealing with all the gen 1 problems.
El CÁNCER del MUNDO 🌎🌍. Todo para sus GUERRAS. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
Hip hip hourra!!!! Hip Hip hourra !!!! Qui disaient ,le meilleur avion du monde et peu cher avec ça it’s american 💩 again😂😂😂
Man, i hope USA tax payer takes a stand, pentagon said, trillions unaccounted for.
Still hope Canada walks away from the F-35
What an overpriced piece of crap. Purely designed to make the weapons contractors rich.
So how are the Israelis handling this issue for their F35I's?
Simple solution! Fly in the space environment & slighly lower to fire.
Wasted taxes
Then don't add more stuff. It's simple as that dude. Really it is. If you keep adding more and more stuff, it's going to get more and more expensive.
A fantastic machine if one day finished as advertised. But a budgetary nightmare. It’s costing everyone more than expected, forcing countries to buy gen 4.5 planes to make up for the f35.
I bet that the wear on the electronics, resulting in an additional 38 billion dollars in maintenance earnings, is at a higher level within Lockheed Martin directly planned into the design of the aircraft.
كل تلك المليارات من اموال دافعى الضرائب الامريكان الذى يعملو بجد و اجتهاد فى ظل ارتفاع اسعار كل شيء ثم ياتى الكونجرس ويرسل المال لدوله اخرى التى تنفق على صيانه تلك الطائرات لصيانتها لم تنفق لصالح الشعب الأمريكي بل لصالح نتنياهو و حكومته الإرهابية ويقصفون المدارس والمستشفيات
