THE CRINGE IT BURNS That's pretty much a tacit admission that we're done with fighters after this one. It's effectively the fat rhinestone Elvis of fighter planes. What's funny is it'll be escorting B-52s that will to them be what Sopwith Camels are to us."You know that we just won the Eurovision with the song 'Toy.' Well, the F-35 is not a toy," he said.
