F-35 Joint Strike Fighter

I remember back in the mid-/late 1980's, the Air Force was headed by fighter pilots who thought anything that couldn't go supersonic didn't deserve to be in the inventory. The plans were in the works to make the F-16 the new "mud" fighter. Then along came Gulf War I and the A-10 strutted its stuff. Out went the F-16 Mud Fighter idea.
