"They're just trying to find a role for this plane because they've
sunk so much money into it," Riccioni said.

"The way Air Force officials and Lockheed Martin executives tell it,
2003
marked a turning point in the development of the F/A-22 Raptor fighter
jet.
"

Odd that, considering 2003 saw tail delamination, departure from
controlled
flight, failure to integrate the joint standoff munition and
continueing
problems integrating weapons sensors. Especailly with Congress
offering
the
program one year to get their act together, with the passage of the
FY04
budget.

Denial is not just a river in Egypt.

Right on schedule.

So now the F-22 program has gone from "there is no problem" to "we have
turned the program around. Were they lying before, or now. (ie both)


I'd have to say it depends on how long passed inbetween the statements
and what they meant when they said "problem".

Jesus, Ferrin, what are you smoking?
