Canada, Portugal Balk On F-35 Deals

Just a thought…

Lockheed Martin’s F-35 program has time on its side. U.S. orders alone, about 2,400 aircraft, can keep production going for nearly two decades. But politics change faster than assembly lines. So who knows.

Canada and Portugal backing away isn’t catastrophic, but it’s not a good trend either. For any company, cracks like these are rarely isolated.
