F-35 Production Ramps Up Nicely.






FORT WORTH, Texas, May 16, 2011 – The second F-35A Lightning II production aircraft flies above the compass rose of Rogers Dry Lakebed at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., May 13. The aircraft, designated AF-6, ferried to Edwards AFB from Naval Air Station Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base following the Air Force formally accepting the fighter into its inventory May 12. The first production jet, AF-7, was delivered to Edwards AFB May 6.
Notice how quickly the delivery dates are between the first and second F-35A!  Learning curve gentlemen.  Learning curve!

  2. One plane every six days...so it will only take over four decades to deliver all of them.
