Thanks to our sponsor, National University. National University knows how important flexibility is

for busy adults going back to school. After all, NU was founded by a U.S. Navy veteran.

That's why NU offers year-round enrollment, as well as four and eight-week online course

options, masters degrees, and doctoral programs in the most high-demand fields so veterans and

service members can advance their careers. NU is a yellow ribbon school and accepts the post-911

GI Bill while offering veterans help to cover what the GI Bill may not. To find out more,

that's too fat and wings that are too small. Massive cost over on some bloating red tape yet the F-35

has proven to be as troublesome as it is ambitious. They're spending an F-35 that is caught on a fire

on a flight line. The F-35's program's record of performance has been both a scandal and a tragedy

what's going to happen with that airplane is it's going to die as slow and agonizing that.

It must be perfect for air combat. Well, no. Look, the F-35 is incredibly expensive and okay,

its development has been long and challenging, but come on, what's the real story here? Is the

Joint Strike Fighter just another failed government program? How do we know what to believe in this

frenetic era we live in with hyper-connectivity and sensational headlines? Now we've argued before

on this show that the F-35 revolutionizes air combat, but to truly understand the issues,

you have to move beyond the sound bites and spend time with a credible expert. Someone who has

an extensive military aviation background and firsthand experience in the F-35 program.

And that's what you're in for on this episode. No announcements, no fluff, just 100 minutes with a

former Royal Canadian Air Force fighter pilot and aviation expert who amassed over 5,000 hours

in the F-16, the F-A-18, the Eurofighter, and every model of the F-35 during his extensive career.

Forget the headlines and sound bites, you want to know what's up with the F-35?
