Better than a JSF without in-flight refuelling.

Can't say I recall seeing an F-111 perform vertical landing !

Only one of the three variants of JSF does VTOL and it's unlikely to be
the
variant Australia would ever buy. Heck, the ADF would probably try to
fit
another seat back in that lift-fan area.

LOL !

Don't laugh, the ADF get some bizarre ideas for "Australianising" equipment.
If you can fit a big lift fan there someone will suggest a
backseater............whether it's necessary or not is another thing.

Just don't open the lift fans lower doors........... :-)
