He seems to be popping up more often, hes on one of the pprune forums and he is being careful what he says but he is still saying things
believe me Bill is an expert at "cheeky"-- he will qualify, he will imply, he will insinuate, but he will not "say" I ran afoul of him when he "heavily implied" the F-35 had a kill switch wherein the US could "inert" any F-35 operator should it be needed. I went no holds barred about how full of it he was and was banned.
So implying=fine
People in the know telling him he is spreading lies= ban hammer
to say he is "biased" is an understatement
A pure, unadulterated FUD (fear uncertainty doubt) monger. Naturally, he now
works in Corporate marketing where those sorts of tactics are regularly employed: freezing the market
with talk of next-gen products that don't materialize.

He hasn't posted so far. Maybe he just wants to lurk.

Isn't that a coincidence.
Europe's fighters been decided. Not a Eurocanard, it's the F-35 (or insert derogatory term) Count the European countries with it.

How selecting the Lockheed Martin F-35 could impact Canada’s economy
QUOTE:
“I think Canadian industry is in a very good position to capture quite a few of those contracts,” he said.
If Canada opts for another aircraft, the current contracts would be honored “to their conclusion,” but would then be placed up for best value bids to JSF nations, he added.

I dunno... maybe if Canaduh selects the Super Duper, the jobs in St. Louis will be secure for a little while longer... and the US Navy can stop buying it sooner and ramp up the purchase of Lightnings.

This is supposed to be the last fiscal year in which the Navy buys the Super Hornets.

Tell Troodoh the program needs a new Turkey?
Accel + Alt + VLO + DAS + MDF + Radial Distance = LIFE . . . Always choose Stealth

Canadian Finance minister resigns amid one of Trudeau's many scandals. (fall on that sword friend!)
The irony of more Canadian government corruption, while adding costs with the CF-18 continuance is really something to behold.
Can one imagine if they simply bought the scandalous 65 F-35s at 9 billion and were done with it years ago?
luckily now they've made the contract 88 aircraft, the budget 20 billion, and have already spent billions on the CF-18s and endless evaluations and won't be getting it for years yet, which has caused a further cost cascade into the navy and an exodus from the RCAF.
