A limited flight clearance? How do you do a limited flight clearance on a trip that takes you from the US to Europe???
This whole program needs to be shot, mutilated and then hung at the gates of the Pentagon as a warning to the next bullshit artists that want to defraud the American people of their taxes.
Prediction. Someone will die before this program is all said and done because they have reached the point of desperation. Desperation leads to short cuts, short cuts lead to mistakes, mistakes lead to death.
A Pentagon official told Defense News that the F-35 fighter fleet has been cleared by air worthiness authorities. A decision on attending the show has not been made but the official said DoD is “hopeful” it can make the trip.What a load of shit!
A statement released by Rear Admiral John Kirby, Pentagon Press Secretary, confirmed the news.
“Yesterday the air worthiness authorities for the U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force approved the F-35 fleet to return to flight,” Kirby said in the statement. “This is a limited flight clearance that includes an engine inspection regimen and a restricted flight envelope which will remain in effect until the root cause of the June 23 engine mishap is identified and corrected.”
“We remain hopeful that the F-35 can make an appearance at the Farnborough airshow. This information is an encouraging step, but no final decision has been made at this time.”
