F16 rolled out in late 70's along with F14, F15, F18. 20 years ago, most of these frames would already be 15 years old. So, in 5 years the F35's should hit the wall too and we should be able to pull data to see if the frames hold up against the stress of maneuvers. I don't think they will though.

You'd need more time than that. F-35 manufacturing didn't really start churning out the product until 2018. And the aircraft was limited to maneuverability that rivaled a Piper Cub until around that same point. For most of its early life pre-block 3f the control law software was still being tested so they couldn't do any hard maneuvers.

That's also the era when those fake stories about "F-35 sucks can't turn" came out. Because even though urinalists can't even get information about AR-15s correct, everybody believed them when they write about the F-35 despite that knowledge being even *harder* to come by.
