"How Good Is The World's Most Expensive Fighter Jet?"
by LARRY ABRAMSON / NPR
"After years on the drawing boards and in testing labs, a new fighter plane is entering the U.S. arsenal. The F-35 joint strike fighter is supposed to help the Air Force, the Navy and the Marines replace their fleet of aging aircraft.
But this plane has become the most expensive military procurement program in history. While critics continue to carp about the cost, the plane is now in the skies, and the military says it's the lynchpin for future defense strategies."
Mainstream media report (part 1 of 2) from Eglin. Article links to the radio story.

Spaz,
On this side of the pond, if you see NPR and it's about military airplanes; "STOP" don't waste your time looking for serious content. On the other hand......if you're looking for entertainment, it will full of guffaws and mindless babble. Take your choice!
Happy New Year!  |

Doesn't that go for just about any topic NPR might be talking about? |
