first he complains about a cost system that's been used for every project
then he uses a short time period, where there is a lot of infrastructure spending which is a component of the average PAUC and claims some extreme price

sounds like the usual stuff from Wheeler, we really need a good term for an internet shock jock

meanwhile in the real world


UK set to procure first F-35 Lightning II squadron
The UK is expected to obtain authority to procure its first squadron of Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter (JSF)/Joint Combat Aircraft (JCA) before the end of 2013, IHS Jane's was told on 18 April.
Speaking at BAE Systems' Warton production facility in Lancashire, Craig Smith, the head of F-35 Sustainment Programme Development UK/EU, said that military officials with industry support are working on the Main Gate 4 approval process for the procurement of an additional 14 F-35Bs to stand up the UK's first squadron in 2016.

and another nonpartner, Korea looks like making their choice this month, with the f-35 preferred, does anyone want to say it wont be the f-35?
