Although the article at the link below appears in "Air Force" magazine, the realities it describes began making themselves felt across the entire DOD several U.S. administrations ago, when Dick Cheney cancelled the U.S. Navy's planned stealthy attack aircraft for budget overruns. The history behind the Air Force's current approach to flight test, and the sobering forecasts for its future, are very illuminating. This article includes no active flight testing, but it is very much worth the time to read, nonetheless.
