BTW, my favorite bit at Spudman's link was
"In fact, the services won’t even announce new projected fielding dates for the F-35 until later this year. The dates were supposed to be 2012 for the Marines and 2016 for the Navy and Air Force before delays pushed those projections at least two years into the future."

So much for wild claims about there being a much larger slip. I've read '6 years' in certain quarters. Of course, those certain quarters have no idea that IOC standards and dates are pretty much 'Kentucky Windage' for every program. Instead, those guys try to treat them as etched in stone and scream 'Sinner!' when they dates or thresholds change.
