Great news !! Applause Thumb



I have to say I am a little surprised by your applause? I was sure by your many comments. That you were in the Anti-JSF Club.......... Confused


I wasnt aware they made a club? is there a pro JSF club, can i join? Whats the annual membership rates? Do i get any free stuff? Rolling Eyes

This whole "your with us or you against us" line pretty effectively stiffles any objective debate and critisizm of the platform. If anyone is crtical, hell their just part of the "anti JSF" club.

If, your comments are balanced expressing both the pros and cons. I would agree.........Yet, many seem to view such complex programs as black and white. Wink

Really, LM needs to do everything and anything to keep the F-35 in the public eye! Especially, with all the doom and gloom going on these day! That of course doesn't count Boeing trying to get the US Goverment to purchase more Super Hornets for the Navy!!!!

There are a few pics on teamjsf - nothing too exciting or real new ...

http://images.teamjsf.com/main.php

Check the "F-35B Rollout" in the 'Events' album, and the "STOVL Move" under 'Productions and Milestones'

There were also supposed to be more A1 air refueling pics posted there, but they haven't showed up yet.

When public relations decides to post them. Very Happy Right now the company is focused on getting the plane in the air. Having photo shoots is distracting and inhibits productivity. They want mechanics and FTEs around the airplane and thats it. However, I imagine once it gets painted, there will be some photos.

I agree yet you can't forget politics! Personally, I think LM needs to keep the F-35 in the public eye as much as possible! Idea

Well, the tails looks a lot smaller... than on the AA-1. I know they are supposed to be smaller, but they just look even smaller than I expected.
