| And if the prior pilot left the lights on you'll have to get a jump start. |

| I think he means how long does it take to start up an F-35. It all depends on what the situation is. Right now with all the testing going on, it would be hard to say. Not to mention the avionics for the F-35 are still way off from being completed. I would think engine start-up procedures for all variants would be the same, but the B model will have many different launch procedures for its engine systems considering its STOVL design (doors, lift fan systems and engagement, etc..). |

| Based on BF-2, which rolled out a few weeks ago and which should not fly until well after the new year, it takes approximately six months to start up an F-35... |

| BTW, LM just put out a press release. In latest developments, the BF-1 landed safely... Only after taking four weeks off to "troubleshoot a minor problem." Four weeks. Would hate to see how long it takes to "troubleshoot" more than a minor problem. Oh, yes, we've seen that already. Approximately six months. Yet another nickname for the F-35: the TRS-80 of fighter planes... |

| Once again, an armchair quarterback gives his opinion. I'm sure if you were there obama, it wouldn't have taken 4 weeks to troubleshoot the problem. Better yet, there would have been no problem due to your expertise at hand. Every aircraft program I have seen has never been without its problems, civil or military. Eurofighter, A380, 787, F-22, Etc..... take your pick. Even a better example is cars, considering how many product recalls there are for glitches that were not found at the beginning of production. Or how about laptop batteries exploding? Wanna take that chance with a multi-million dollar aircraft thats state of the art? Be the guy who is flying the plane. Be the guy who is responsible for designing anything on that aircraft.I'm deffinately for the guys who want to "take four weeks to troubleshoot a minor problem". Money well spent if it fixes the problem now and not later. People like you always seem to know everything but contribute nothing more than criticism. Its always easy to be the critic when you are not responsible for the consequences. Get real. |

Hey Joe, thanks for one up. I used to work in the Netherlands myself. I was actually at Woensdrecht for an F-16 MLU course when I was working for Daedalus at Volkel. I worked @ Volkel and Twenthe and went to Leeuwarden a few times as well. Small world indeed!! Miss it I tell Ya  |
