Update: F-35 Cleared to Fly With Restrictions, U.K. Air Show Appearance Cancelled
Snart har norsk næringsliv tjent inn flykjøpet
Den norske staten skal bruke rundt 66 milliarder kroner på å kjøpe de nye kampflyene F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. Allerede nå er det klart at minst 50 milliarder vil finne veien tilbake til norsk næringsliv, men det kan bli mye mer
Lockheed Martin is moving closer to delivering an F-35 to its fifth customer nation, with Norway’s first example having had its three fuselage sections joined on 9 April.
But the JSF’s advantage didn’t actually help in the end. The stealth fighter proved too sluggish to reliably defeat the F-16, even with the F-16 lugging extra fuel tanks. “Even with the limited F-16 target configuration, the F-35A remained at a distinct energy disadvantage for every engagement,” the pilot reported.
Men Mr Hanche jobber jo i kampflyprogrammet, og kan vel neppe kalles objektiv.
Lurer på hvorfor de valgte å kalle de Joint Strike Fighter. Joint er jo tri service på nynorsk mil språk. Skal disse være strålende for Hær og Sjø også eller?

The operational maneuver tests were conducted to see “how it would look like against an F-16 in the airspace,” says Col. Rod “Trash” Cregier, F-35 program director. “It was an EARLY look at any control laws that may need to be tweaked to enable it to fly better in future. You can definitely tweak it—that’s the option.”
Protestene her mot F-35 minner om kopier av det man sa da F-16 ble valgt. Går utifra at man fortsatt mener det var feil fly og?
Hvilke fly var med i konkurransen da F-16 vant?
