It seems odd that the actual figures would differ so largely from whatever the original estimates were.

Anyway, is there enough public data on the F/A-18 available to compare it to the F-35 in terms of acceleration? Overall the F-35's performance seems to align more with the F/A-18 than F-16.

Also are we sure the previous figures for acceleration were based off that Bowman document?
The Bowman paper looks to primarily be an individual officer's review and opinions of the program versus official specs. Unfortunately that link to that Australian Parliament session doesn't work for me and I can't read in what manner the paper was referenced.
