I agree that one can tout the good work of a certain team, like the Pax River test team in the linked puff piece, without covering the whole ups and downs of the program.
I certainly salute the smart and brave folks who do things first on a new platform, like dropping new ordinance, cats and traps, expanding the envelope, working on new maintenance procedures, flying very precise test parameters, night flights, landing on a ship, etc. etc. They don't write (or change) the specs, they don't design it or make it- they test stuff and do a great job- and they have not dropped one yet.....It's OK for them to roll out a video. Jeeez.
