Uncle Sam tells F-35B allies they'll have to fly the things a lot more if they want to help out around South China Sea

RAF

Saw a documentary series recently about how the RAF train its pilots. One eye-opener was how the RAF (or was it RN?) are training their F35 pilots (in the states)

Guy strapped in ready for take-off and a pretend bombing sortie..ready for action...the planes systems wouldn't accept the pilots PASSWORD! A guy in a SUV had to reset it remotely (cameras not allowed)

Imagine that in a carrier defence situation....scramble, scramble, scramble....."er....was it a capital at the start? Dammit I changed it recently...erm...was it the one I use for gmail or my paypal one?".

Sometimes it's bad enough when your sitting at a desk in an office but what about when you've got deadly incoming? No pressure...

I think sticky-note v1.0 may save your bacon (and the carriers). Christ on a bike.
