I still think that the F-35 will be the future standard in NATO fighters but politics, trade frictions between us and the US, plus Airbus's stake in Bombardier could take us in a different direction. The teething problems with the F-35 just emphasize that you don't want to be a launch customer when it comes to a new generation anything, unless you have deep pockets. Fortunately we won't be if we do end up getting them.
