Because of that, money is not formally budgeted for the program. Congress has required that the military accept this effort and has funded the program. So the schedule being discused in this story applies ONLY to the F136 and is not directly related to the JSF program. Weaponhead,

Or is this 4 months in addition to all of the other F-35 program slips? Can anyone actually tell what schedule is being referred to on this program?
