As someone knows a tough day at the OPHTHALMOLOGIST today. Just caught the fact the ref/document quoted
CY=Calendar Year
vs. what I thought was
FY=Fiscal Year (Why'd they do that?) anyway that would move things back further to
OCT-DEC 2017 or I would submit now
NOV 2017 as the operational/in service date for the F-35B. The rest of the para I stand by. This means with the CORPS getting theirs first the next will definitely fall in no sooner then mid 2018 at best holding to the CORPS timeline in development.
Sorry for the confusion
on my part.
Regards,
Pat
