A question here. Will there be political pressure to issue the next contract to a someone other than LM? I can imagine a desire to spread the defence budget around a bit.

KenV, any insight into this?

MSOCS, you're right, but you missed out a bit of A-4 in the T-50A.

P.S. I was going to remark that LM should be putting all their effort into fixing the wonder jet rather than doodling new sketches, but decided not to. Maybe they need to dream up three versions, one with folding wings and more weight for the Navy and a jumping bean version for the Marines - never been done before so I might sell them my idea.
