(Nose gear issue)...”has been known since 2014 with no fix forthcoming and none in the works”............
Trump DID NOT buy that plane, it was likely purchased during odumbo’s time. Do you for one minute think that Trump would keep buying elevators for his hotels if they had a problem of failing? NO, he would get that problem resolved and pronto. I believe Trump will do what is necessary to keep our pilots safe and if that means “fixing” the F-35 landing gear problems, it will get fixed or the plane will be “nixed”.
You have a lot of faith in your political leaders - let’s hope it is not misplaced.
