Bronc, did you read the report and how they arrived at these numbers?  :eek:




And you do realize that none of them are permanent right? This is essentially a Progress Report  Its not a rewrite of the specifications.




70 percent for one year with these problems in mind with an aircraft still in development? I bet they are ignoring them... No wait here is the documentation of the steps they are taking to fix them:




That Section in fact is right under the part about the F-35A you posted... So allow me to summarize: They found a problem, are working to fix it, and in the mean time, have put flight restrictions that could make the problems worse until it can be tested and fixed... Its the apocalypse alright.




As one Marine told me "we never get new toys, we are flying them until they order us to stop"


 How about the C:






Tailhook not fixed? Landing on a ship this year.


Meeting or exceeding this years test points? Exceeding sorties? identifying problems? and working to fix them? putting in temporary restrictions in order to not damage the aircraft or endanger lives? and that equates to "miserable performing program failures." to you?  :eek: How quickly will what you listed go away when the afterburner is off restriction I wonder...




I agree, but read. the. whole. thing. No need to spaz out, or panic, or say things that boldly make you appear foolish.  Everything quoted above is from the same report you posted, in some cases right under the things you posted. There is far more good news in that report than bad. Still issues, no doubt. Still things that need work, but I would encourage everyone to read that report, and at least put the bad news in context, and take a look at what they are planning to do to fix them, along with actually getting some good and even great news.


Semper Fi!


Also Bill Sweetman identified the heat issues a while ago, so hat tip to him I read that on his blog first and it looks like they are working on it, Not even news to him.
