Lawsuit Alleges Faulty Stealth Coatings on F-22
Darrol Olsen alleges that Lockheed-Martin covered up problems with the stealth coatings on the F-22. (See also here.)
Considering this guy's pedigree, he worked on stealth coatings for the F-117 and B-2, and the considerable problems that the F-22 has had with its stealth coatings, it's readiness and maintenance requirements have underperformed, I'm inclined to believe that there is some merit in the lawsuit.
My guess is that LM will eventually settle with him, and we will hear no more of this.
