The General Atomics MQ-XX tanker entry will be based on the Avenger UCAV.
ATD-X/X-2:
Here's more information on the first flight and program.
More videos.
Mitsubishi's statement on the flight is here.
The X-2 will fly at least 50 times by the end of the year.
The X-2 is more than a symbol of national pride.
Then there is a bit more. And some more.
PAK-FA:
Is the PAK-FA going to be the Su-50?
PAK-DA:
This is done by fans, so don't get too excited and is based on wind tunnel models from 4 years ago.
F-117:
Congress may finally let the F-117 be sent to the boneyard. Finally. Elsa should sing to Congress.
Stealth Hawk:
5 Years ago, the raid that killed bin Laden & exposed the Stealth Black Hawk took place.
F-22:
The USAF has sent 2 F-22 Raptors to Romania to reassure NATO of US support against Russia.
Two of the Raptors went to Lithuania. Here's a video of them being refueled on the way.
What the F-22s are doing in Europe.
F-35:
The F-35 software bugs are supposedly NOT a threat to the IOC for the F-35A.
The software is going to be patched. The question is how. Really.
The radar bug does not effect USMC F-35Bs because they did NOT load the latest software update.
The F-35B will get its first shipboard deployment in 2017.
The USMC F-35 maintainers talk the problems of the F-35B maintenance, including the infamous ALIS.
An F-35B was fueled on the ground by a V-22.

Thornberry's bill apparently will add back the 5 F-35As the budget didn't have, but the air force wanted. HASC put in a total of 11 F-35s above and beyond. A bit more here. Slightly different here.
An F-35A at Luke AFB just dropped some GBU-12 bombs.
There are implications for the F-35I getting its own apps built on top of the F-35 avionics.
The roll out for the F-35I is to take place on June 22.

McCain is against the F-35 bulk buy.
Lockheed's manufacture of the F-35 has been slower than expected.
Until the F-35 proves it can perform in combat, Congress is not likely allow retirement the legacy aircraft. Like the A-10. Senator Ayotte really wants the USAF to come clean whether or not the F-35 will be replacing the A-10. An F-35 pilot really dislikes the test saying they ought to be comparing apples to apples.
Pratt & Whitney is wrapping up the F-35 F135 engine development.
Could a connectivity problem ground the F-35?
The F-35 program office has 2,590 people working for it. Mother of gawd...
