Maybe F-35 CAN Fly...But Only Circling the Drain

This story gets better and better.  If I've already quoted Will Rogers in this depressingly expensive series then I apologize....but man...."Folks, I couldn't possibly make this stuff up".

Now it appears that for the first time there are people associated with the program that may be thinking that gurgling sound they are hearing is not necessarily the sound of more money pouring uncontrollably into the proudly unauditable Pentagon (or the sound of the not-too-efficient F-35 engines chugging fuel) but maybe the first death-gurgles for the project as a whole.
