More problems raised at Pentagon F-35 fighter review - World Updates | The Star Online
Officials did not approve a comprehensive plan for operational testing of the F-35 program as had been expected.

The Pentagon's Defence Acquisition Board huddled for more than four hours on Friday evening in a meeting described by one participant as "very painful" given ongoing challenges facing the high-tech F-35 helmet that is integral to the craft's weapons systems, and other aspects of the huge program.
Operational test plan rejected because of ongoing issues, one of them the helmet which, I'm sure I recall this correctly, was as good as solved.
Now they're talking as if the alternate BAe helmet is going to be a more permanent alternative.
