Just noticed this snippet in a Flight International piece by David Majumdar dated 6 Nov. My bold.
The
F-35 is in its infancy, but the stealthy type is already proving to be relatively stable from a maintenance standpoint, says Col Andrew Toth, commander of the 33rd Fighter Wing.
"The system right now is behaving as advertised, [although] occasionally, we will have some issues with it on the ground," he says. However, this is usually
easily fixed by shutting the aircraft down and then restarting it.
I love it. Microsoft, I presume?
"Come on, Bloggs, call for take off for chrissake...."
"Sorry, Sir, I'm just restarting the jet."
