WASHINGTON: Cutting funding for the Lockheed Martin Corp. F-35 Joint
Strike Fighter could unleash a spiral of schedule delays and cost
growth, U.S. Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne said on Tuesday.

"Here we are with a program that is actually working ... It's meeting
its goals, it's meeting its timelines, it's meeting its technology
requirements," Wynne told reporters.

If we shifted all the foreign buyers to the front of the line would that
keep the production scheduale the same while delaying US gov payments?

At least they have stopped implementing policies that seemed
designed to drive foreign customers away.
