Behind Schedule and Over Budget, Lockheed Attemps to Sell Reduced Testing for JSF.

LM is claiming that they can save money by "streamline" testing by using lessons from the F-22.

This is bulls*&%.

What they are really saying is that they are behind schedule and over budget, and that they are going to attempt to field these aircraft without proper testing in order to save money and time.

It is a request for a bailout, with shortcomings being fixed under a later cost plus contract.
