| Does anybody know when Lockheed will begin hiring for various other F-35 jobs....I am a Armament Systems Technician and have submitted for about 8 weapons jobs with the F-35 with lockheed. Do they take a long time to reply?? Maybe my resume does not meet there "computer's" requirements. I want the job at Eglin but it is beginning to look grim. Any info or help would be much appreciated!!! |

Howdy and welcome!
You might get a faster response if you ask the question in the F-16 job/carrer forum: http://www.f-16.net/f-16_forum_index-c-9.html
Good luck!

How about that, BF-3 four flights and a BF-2 flight in one week -- despite two feet of snow at PAX.

Very interesting. Thanks for the (continual) updates.
Provides a very interesting counter-point to those who think that L-M can not even manage 12 flight tests per month, per airframe... |

When did that happen?
Here is the total of FY2010 F-35 test flights as of 11 Feb. The fiscal year ends in Oct, so if LM is gonna get in the 1200 flights scheduled...
AA-1 FY2010-1
BF-1 FY2010=12
BF-2 FY2010=9
BF-3 FY2010=4
AF-1 FY2010=3 |

| Could we please see some realistic numbers regarding the flight test program? According to Stephen Trimble about two weeks ago less than 30 of 1,200 planned flights for FY2010 had been completed more than 5 months into the FY. In order to catch up they'd need around 180 flights a month for the next 6 months or been averaging 100 a month for this FY. We all know the flight test program is far behind schedule. The main questions should be when does it stop falling further behind and when it starts catching up. It would be useful to know if Trimble is accurate. |

Is there a patch available for the first Bonehead that over-speeds that lift fan door? |

| The sim demo pilot says a 'red button' has to be pressed to go into STOVL mode (as I recall). I would think that computer flight laws will not allow that huge door to be oversped and other computer control flight laws will help protect the aircraft from bone head pilots methinks.
