I went down to Edwards AFB to see 17 Sqn while I was at NAWS China lake the other year. I've been on Test and Evaluation of fast jets for 5 years now and was interested in a move to F35. I knew one of they guys there from a previous tour and after chatting to him and a few others I decided not to continue my interest. The aircraft is amazingly advanced, even more so than the Raptor but its role is somewhat limited by its stealth. I won't go into details but I don't see our new carriers being used that much for carrier ops.
There is still a Navyfied Typhoon on the drawing board which although isn't being persued at this time, has not been completely shelved either.
