@TD, aren't you in the back channel planning CONOPS PM's, I was included when the plan to 'deal' with KenV was being hatched.
I was not, you need to tell me about the details as you apparently were.
The Israelis
always know the history (dates) and what costs were supposed to be and now are. Believe me, they would be out of the F-35 program if it were not for the amount of money expended at IAI in support of the F-35 program, the technology that is contained within the F-35s they want to learn more about and if the costs keep going up, they will reconsider what to do, less F-35s and new orders for less expensive aircraft.
