Ignoring the financial editors appaling ignorance concerning the design of the CVF and the fact that we could, with some changes, purchase the F35C instead, this appears to be a reappearance of the proposal to chop the STOVL version. Anybody heard any more rumours of this - again - or is he just recycling old rumours?
As far as I was aware the proposal to cut the F-35B had been dropped from the QDR before Xmas.
DID confirms the rumours that the pentagon still wants to cut a version out of the program, but thinks the F-35B is secure. I´m not so sure.
