Regards the aircraft, like the aircraft carrier the planes are new, it take's time for people to become familiar with them. Which is why the UK has been trailing them between the US and UK. More importantly the people who maintain the aircraft from the people who fuel them, the people who fix them and even the people who wash them get to play with the aircraft. It’s one thing being taught in a classroom, it’s a completely different subject in the real world.
