According to the Times article, France is still buying the jet (but there's
no mention of Spain!). Can this be true? Shoddy work, surely?! -- Steve Davies "F-15 Eagle & Strike Eagle.

You mean shoddy as to the article, or the airplane...?  It is rather surprising that the paper decided to have France participate in the program and procure the aircraft so many years after it bailed when it became apparent that the Rafale-route was not going to be chosen path of the consortium, especially as France has experienced significant difficulty in funding the still rather paltry procurement of Rafale to date!

The journalist is totally misinformed if he thinks France is buying it. -- "It's easier to find people online who openly support the KKK than people who openly support the RIAA" -- comment on Wikipedia (My real email address would be if you added 275 to it and reversed the last two letters).
