A decision to eject from a failing F-35B fighter and the betrayal in its wake

I think there are many other moving parts in this story that aren’t public knowledge.

Mostly the hundreds of billions of dollars spent on an airplane that's not ready for prime time yet.

The F-35B entered service ten years ago, in 2015. But there have been continuous upgrades to it, and given that the 2023 incident described in the article started with the HUD (apparently) crashing 3 times in a row, there's plenty of room for improvement.
