In the Friday, Nov. 13 edition of Check 6 we welcome back the familiar ascerbic musings of Robert Wall, our International Editor calling in from Dubai, Graham Warwick, our award winning (see below) Senior Technology Editor and myself, Amy Butler, Senior Pentagon Editor.
China's military ambitions -- Will they manage to field an F-22-like fighter any time soon?
A preview of Robert's next week at the Dubai Air Show
and
JSF Joint Estimating Team II -- the sequel. Just when F-35ers thought it was safe with the backing of Defense Secretary Robert Gates, that ugly and persistent cost monster rears its ugly head (perhaps this should have been in the Halloween episode).
Finally, we close with our missed approaches.
Last but certainly not least: a word of congratulations to The Woracle for winning the Lyman Award for outstanding achievement in aviation journalism. Though this is a well-deserved lifetime achievement sort of thing, don't expect Graham to cool his jets in the days to come.
Thanks for listening. And for those of you on iTunes, we can be found there under Check 6.
Since I can't give you a pay raise (hint, hint), I'll raise a few beers this weekend in your honor instead.
Well deserved!
