I was reading one of the comments. It says something to the effect of, "they should fire their press secretary, on top of this [pilot trapped incident] and the recent exposure that the stealth capabilities and maneuverability is way over-hyped"... Is this true?

I saw one at an air show and that thing is pretty amazing with its manerverability. Not too sure about the stealth capability though.

Sheez, first off this is way beyond old news, second you guys think a $250 million aircraft has zero problems?

As for the Stealth capabilities, google is your friend. Do a search.

"the cost of canopy replacement will run $182,205"

That's not covered under the 3 year bumper to bumper?
Cheap!

I wonder if that 182k is the installed price, or if the book says
"10.5 hours shop time for the install"

haha
