I think that's the first good news about the F-35C program I've heard since, well, EVER!

I don't know how I feel about the F-35, from what I've heard, it hasn't been going well.

I haven't been following the F-35 development. But if the the last two paragraphs are accurate, it doesn't sound very good.

What a fantastic waste of funds. Next time you find yourself whining about Obama spending money, think about this gem for a minute.
