Katy, bar the door. The F-35 flight test effort has moved into high gear and the plane is now doing the stuff it was built to do. The pace of testing (sortie rate) is going well, but it is not clear how much of the flying is unplanned remedial stuff associated with some of the recent systems issues that have cropped up. We're getting the sorties, how are we doing on the originally planned test matrix?
