Alea iacta est!

This is the second article today I've read about this, JSF (F-35) down for engine issues and Raptor's (F-22) down because of a oxygen issue.

Our best is grounded until these issues are resolved.  Problems look like they can be fixed, but having pricey aircraft like this on the ground and not in the air never looks good to budget-cutters salivating to raid the Pentagon budget!

Hopefully this doesn't impact our future readiness.
