Death spiral

Good luck with that theory.

Nonetheless, as an engineer source tells me: "My general thought is that there is not a fundamental problem (i.e., a "show-stopper") on any of the three F-35 types/variants. Many of the issues being resolved are typical of development aircraft."

LM should go on Oprah like Lance Armstrong on Thursday and confess their lies and cheating. And then go on on the long road to start to win back the trust of customers. If not its gonne hurt them in the long run.

Australia might as well order the extra super hornets now based on that report.

Vince,

Not too sure we are talking a very long run here, 'cause the time is nigh and, as in all such things, "time is of the essence"

Hey vince,

If LM were to go on Oprah and announce they made a terrible strategic company mistake and have decided to finally indeed invest in-house money, request NASA assistance and seek joint partner funding to go ahead with developing a next-gen F-16XL-class redesign of the venerable and cost-effective F-16 Viper, then LM will get my trust!

;) God speed.
