NORAD & the FAA are confirming an odd encounter with an unknown aircraft in Oregon.

KF-X:

KF-X:
Indonesia has failed to pay its part of the KF-X program.
Tornado Replacement:
The head of Airbus Defense and Space is calling on Germany and France to hurry up on decisions about the program.
In a bad sign for the program, Germany has stated the preferred replacement for the Tornado is the F-35.
Eurofighter Replacement:
Airbus has unveiled its concept for the Typhoon replacement.
Finland:
Finland will be seeking 64 new fighters. The F-35 may be a contender.
Sixth Generation Fighters:
The USAF Penetrating Counter Air platform might have a serious funding problem.
The USAF has been working on a new very long range missile for two years.
B-21:
Northrop's parking lots seem to be rather full. Is it a sign the B-21 program is ramping up?
An FOIA document on the B-21 appears to confirm the B-21 is optionally manned and nuclear capable (but not necessarily at the same time).
F-117:
F-117s were seen on the road under protective covers for transport. Probably for destruction.
Another F-117 was seen flying the day after the previous one(s) were seen on the road.

F-22:
A com gateway between the F-22 and the F-35 is on the air force wish list.
F-22s conducted its first ground attack mission ever in Afghanistan. Against a drug lab.
Six F-22s are being deployed to South Korea in December.
Is deploying F-22s to Afghanistan realistic training or just plain overkill?
F-35:
Lockheed has delayed certifying the 3F software build for the F-35 under February.
Lockheed is targeting a $80 million per F-35A price for LRIP 14.
The House authorized 20 more F-35s than the White House asked for: 56 F-35As, 24 F-35B and 10 F-35C. The Senate has offered less.
Watch 10 more F-35As arrive at Kadena.
The 62nd Fighter Squadron traveled to Mountain Home AFB for the 2nd F-35A training course.
The damaged F-35A was transported from Mountain Home AFB to Utah by the logistics arm of the USAF by ground.
An F-35A underwent extensive lifecycle testing to see how long the airframe will survive. The fighter seems to have made it through 24,000 hours at this point.

The USMC VMFA-121 is at full strength with its F-35Bs in Japan.
The US Navy gave Lockheed a modest contract to integrate the small diameter bomb II on the F-35.
International partners in the F-35 program are worried about sovereignty issues with the ALIS system in the F-35 and have worked up interim solutions.
British F-35Bs have been training with Kfirs.
The Brits have been talking up the interoperability of the F-35 with the Eurofighter Typhoon.
Denmark has found problems with its selection of the F-35.

Israel is ready for its next two F-35Is.
The first Japanese built F-35B flew and landed at Misawa AB.
Norway's receipt of its first F-35s is a major milestone.
UAE wants to buy the F-35, the US is in discussions, but a USAF general is skeptical of a mixed F-35 and Russian air fleet.
