@zszs100 The cheapness is still a major factor. Why do you think the Navy keeps some of the older F/A-18 C/D Hornets instead of upgrading to an all F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet fleet?
And it still can't perform the role of any of the other aircraft.

@DaWolf805 The F35 is better than the F18 all around except speed. The F35 is more manuverable, can carry more weapons, more advanced avionics , and steathy.

F16 and F22 models on the flight deck, F15 models next to "F18", F22 model next to "F35", confusing the landing strip with the catapults...
If you're going to take all the time to make all those models, take a few extra minutes to work from the right aircraft. As it is I wouldn't trust this video to sit the right way on a toilet seat.

@zszs100 It's not as cheap as the F/A-18E, it doesn't have room for two seats like the F/A-18F (and doesn't perform strike missions as well either), it can't perform the role of the EA-18 or the E-2D at all, and it's not a drone. And it's obviously not a helicopter either.
The F-35 is able to do a lot of things. However, an aircraft that does only one thing, and does it well, is going to do it a hell of a lot better than the F-35.

@chickplaysgames And the Navy's drones will be of a flying-wing design, so showing a Predator makes even less sense.

@chickplaysgames no f-15e only f-16 and f-22

Their is already a Ford Class Super Carrier under construction, and will enter the fleet in 2015. The JFK is the 2nd Ford Carrier and will enter the fleet in 2018. Basically a new Superior will enter service every 3 years. I'm sure both countries will have the best carriers for the next 30 years.

Why can't they load up then ship with only F35? since its a mulity role 5th generation steath fighter.
-
and yeah why is the picture of the f-18s f-15s?
-
@82ndairborne100 thats why it said the new JFK
The pictures from 0:24 onwards don`t correspond to the aircraft. The picture of F-15E has been used instead of the pictures of F/A-18 and EA-18G, and instead of a picture of F-35C there is one of the F-22.

Doesn't make any sense because the new aircraft carriers will be the Gerald R Ford Class, which is designed with the F-35 in mind, same with America class amphibious assault ships.
