Aero-News Quote of the Day

"While this celebration is taking place in the Air Force hangar with the Air Force variant of the F-35, this is really a story about the fully integrated team of Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, industry and community partners who have been working years to make this day possible. In fact, Marine Col. Art Tomassetti, my vice, (today's master of ceremonies), and test pilot, has been with this program for more than a decade. So, some of us have been waiting a long time to see this day." Source: Col. Andrew Toth, the 33rd Fighter Wing commander, at a ceremony formally rolling out the F-35 JSF at Eglin ABF.
