Following my first post of 18 April, some 9 weeks ago, and virtually nothing coming forward on how the error was made, I repeat this line:
The most important issue is not to make the mistake again, however I can see it being repeated – probably with the Joint Strike Fighter.
I have decided to go ahead with offering a $50,000 award for the best investigative article or documentary on this fiasco (see
here).
By the way, I have recently heard that another businessman will be offering $50,000 as well, so the award will be $100,000.
Wouldn’t it be great if some of the better writers on PPRuNe could prepare a full investigative article and have it published? Not only will they be adequately rewarded, but hopefully the mistakes shown will not be repeated in the Joint Strike Fighter project.
