My bet is, and will always be........ on the F/A-18
Long live the F/A-18 Super Hornet.

Just how many times are you going to use the same outdated report. I do notice that the date of the report versus the date of the actual test is different. The real flight was in 2014, not 2015. I notice that it condemns all F-35s instead of just the AF-2 Test Bird that was actually used in the test.
Once again, the report is defrocked. Come up with something new like the bad the seat ejectors being faulty. I imagine that it's being addressed right now. If you wait another year to start harping on it then you will too late. So get on the stick.
As for the F-18C/D those are the models that are to be replaced by the F-35C. Just like you take the AF-1/2 and use them for all F-35s, you are using the F-18C/D for all F-18s. Newsflash, Cupcake: The life of a Carrier Born Fighter is the roughest life a fighter can do and their life expectancy is lower. The C/Ds need replacement. It's a good time for the USN to pick up a bunch of F-35Cs to augment their EF-18G and F-19E/Fs. The USN is going Gah Gah over the F-35Cs they already have and so is the RN. You leave out all this and still harp on a test from over a year ago on a Test Bird.
Canada can't afford many of the F-35s so you use your own countries lack of funds to bad mouth the Lightning II. The US can't afford NOT to have them and neither can Britain. These two do the majority of the heavy lifting for NATO and Asia.
Every day, you tripe doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
