- protomyth 11y agoThey could have, but some dumb fool thought we could design 1 plane for everyone. I cannot remember the movie about that.
- jcoyne 11y agoWe're talking about the F-111, right?
- protomyth 11y agoI think the movie was about the Bradley, but the F-111 was an amazing example of "too many missions".
- TeMPOraL 11y agoIt's from Pentagon Wars, and it's an obligatory YouTube clip always linked in F-35 HN threads: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXQ2lO3ieBA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXQ2lO3ieBA.

- kelvin0 11y agoAgreed, but more specifically here is the 10 minute video which best distills the whole movie. It's worth watching: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXQ2lO3ieBA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXQ2lO3ieBA
