I started out in the 70's as an aeronautical engineer at McDonald Douglas. One of the legion of engineers who worked on the F-18 and F-15. To accept a product costing around 80-100 million apiece that can't be used for it's intended purpose sounds like an f-up of monumental proportions. At the same time Lockheed Martin is proudly stating that they delivered 191 planes in 2025, not mentioning they are not actually combat ready. So we now have around 20 billion dollars worth of flight trainers. That the government would consider that acceptable is just another indicator of why we should audit the defense department because I bet Lockheed Martin wont be penalized at all if/when they get that crucial part created. (Cost plus!)
