| Thanks for posting this hot link, checksixx! The LM shot of Raptor 4109 (WA) and the production highlights are very interesting. |

Cool brief, sixx...
Nice to hear about the 14th 'zero defect' Raptor being delivered thus far! That's very natural in a new fighter program and it's why you have 1st tranche, and follow on blocks, etc.
I'm in the camp that says you don't start a V-22 or F-22 program to begin with, if you're only going to buy 180 and if you do end up buying 170-180... then someone involved at the top should be held accountable for poor management/planning so that future poor plannings are not repeated and not the trend setting norm!!!
Put me in the camp supporting to replace the first 100 Raptors, at least, with additional zero defects. Otherwise, some butts should be shelved, sorry. |

I'm curious what they mean about 'the avionics seemed to enjoy the weather...'? (during the NorEdge exercise).
And I wish I could attend Farnborough  |
