US Thanksgiving is on Thursday, and you can forget Friday, so this week's edition of Check 6 comes a couple of days early. International Editor Robert 'Torfurkey' Wall in Paris is joined by Senior Pentagon Editor Amy 'Sweet Potato' Butler and Senior Technology Editor Graham 'Giblets' Warwick in Washington to discuss:
- Pentagon plans to add money and aircraft to get F-35 flight testing on track to complete development in 2013.
- the Pentagon's cunning plan to force innovation back into the US rotorcraft industry. Is it too little, too late?
- EA-18 Growler is operational...but wait, we don't have time left! So Robert does a quick endorsement and we move on to...
...our Missed Approaches: India crashes latest UAV on its first flight; Supreme Court asked to rule on A-12 dispute; and Northrop Grumman stays mum on X-47B UCAS-D slip.
