Originally published at: GAO: F-35 Readiness Continues to Decline
F-35 readiness continues to fall even as the Pentagon launches a $13.7 billion plan to fix long-standing sustainment problems.
A golden airplane takes a lot of gold to keep it running.
So, 800 delivered, and only 200 mission ready? Perhaps we need to look carefully at these numbers. If the readiness was 80% plus, would we need so many aircraft? Would this lead to more availability of spares and repair parts as they would not be being used for new aircraft.
Who is responsible for reading and approving these contract? Joe about we stop any and all new production, until we get the roughly 600 planes back up and running?
