Spaz:
Thanks for the links to the EIS.
To give you an idea of how much of a clusterhump I think that the F-35 program has been, our conservative estimate on the EIS initial was 2005-2006, with a final in 2009-2010. I seem to recall that a risk factor in all this was the BRAC rounds going on in the early 00's.
This Final EIS looks to me to be five years late ... standard acquisition / ops / integration FUBAR that makes me intensely glad I am not on that
ing hamsterwheel anymore.
