But surely one of the problems with the JSF project is the amount of publicity - so much that every mishap is portrayed as a disaster? The first flight was nearly a year ago and presumably test flying has continued.
There is one aircraft to date in the flying program. The flight where the control problem occurred (flight 19 out of 5000) was in May. There have been no flights since.
No date, as far as I am aware, has been announced for the resumption of flying and test flight 20.
