Some of the F-35 mistake-jet fixes in summary

H/T to JSFNews for illuminating this summary of F-35 refurbs.

This effort reaches back to 2007.

Interesting when you compare to how things are today.

Do you want to know the plain truth about the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter?
Don’t you like believing F-35 crtitcal journalists?
Do you prefer optimistic US generals?
Or the industry public relations machine?
Or do you like the honey-sweet words of the politicians, with their own agenda?
Read from the REAL world, a summary of the inconvenient truth about the F35 Joint Strike Fighter design problems. An official US Department of Defense document (5 Mb download, see page 207-218) is telling you the real story in an overview of about 230 high-priority modifications………… How many pages is the list of low-priority (design) problems?
And what about Initial Operational Capability (IOC) in 2016? And the taxpayers in Australia, The Netherlands, Norway, Italy, UK, are they paying the modifications of their AirForces F-35s?
Planned Modification costs US Air Force onl during FY2014-Fy2019:
- Modification of in-service F-35A CTOL aircraft USAF: US$ 1.389.368 million (1.39 billion)Total delivered F-35As USAF about 100 units, this means modification costs amount US$ 13 million/aircraft.

Take the time to look at the full list of items at the link.
