I was referring to the F35 which is a multirole bomber, close air support, and air defense aircraft. It has 3 models-conventional TOL; short take off and vertical landing; and carrier based. Basically, it is a Swiss Army Knife, made by Lockheed Martin and leased to numerous countries in order to defer enemies and kick serious ass if need be.
Multirole aircraft frees the AF, USMC, and USN from aging planes that are a burden to maintain and letter upgrade. Plus the US won't just ditch the F14s, F16s, and F/A18s--foreign sales will give the economy an added bonus.
