| Lockheed Martin test pilot Bill Gigliotti flew F-35B BF-12 (Navy Bureau Number 168308), on its inaugural flight on 30 March 2012 from NAS Fort Worth JRB. The aircraft will be assigned to VMFAT-501 at Eglin AFB, Florida. |
Critics can whine.
Cry.
Stomp their feet.
Twist facts to fit a narrative...but they can't keep production from ramping up!
First flight of BF-12.
If you're paying attention you'll note that the STOVL version is apparently receiving most of these production slots.
Can you say training to start this year?
Can you say IOC in 2013?
Can you say winning?
Oh and if you disagree fine. D.I.L.L.I.G.A.F.?
