Wonder Woman No. 601 by *AlexGarner |
Ya know. I don't know the guy that's in charge over at Aviation Week but the guy must be about ready to punch walls.
I mean seriously.
His star reporter has a hard-on for the F-35....and he can't get the boy under control.
So what does an editor in chief do?
Do you sack the guy?
No.
A couple of other publications would be all over him.
Do you suspend him?
Naw...tried that, it didn't work.
So what do you do?
You have other reporters on your staff write corrections.
Let me introduce you to Amy Butler aka Wonder Woman.
Totally different from Sweetman's earlier post huh?
Posted by Amy Butler at 6/22/2011 9:17 AM CDTJSF partners and customers will be able to have the same stealth characteristics as the U.S., according to Joe Dellavedova, the F-35 program office spokesman.There is a caveat: "each partner will have the option to add 'unique' capabilities that may have minor LO characteristics," he tells Aviation Week. One example, he says, is the addition of a drag chute, an item Norway has eyed.Such "capabilities may have minor implications on LO characteristics," Dellavedova says. Dellavedova made his comments in response to follow up questions during the F-35 briefing at this week's Paris Air Show. During the briefing, deputy program manager USAF Maj. Gen. CD Moore and Lockheed Martin executive vice president Tom Burbage seemed flatfooted at a question posed by a journalist asking whether a report in the Australian media that the radar cross section capability would be degraded for the partners.Moore said, "All I can tell you is we have every intent on meeting the KPPs on the aircraft as designated by our partners," adding that the report was "speculative."After the briefing, a program source also said the discussion about RCS is largely classified.
Aviation Week must be in turmoil!
I wish I could be a fly on those walls. Watch your back Amy! The Dark Lord might be after you!
