Outstanding!
They can buy that after they figure out how to fund:
1. F-35
2. KC-46
3. CSAR-X
4. T-X (T-38 replacement)
5. Sustain T-1 or replace that?
All of these bills come due well before a new acq program can be entertained.
Sounds like a great advert from Lockheed. They need money, too. And the teats are all empty!

When Emgland truly the seas, their policy was to spend twice what the next two highest countries spent. To paraphrase Ike, beware of the military-industrial complex. This from the General who led the greatest combined military force in history. We should listen to him...

Contractors float these trial balloons to generate interest and show that they're still in the game, but if they actually get an RFP for such a craft, the Cone of Silence will descend.

Tax-spend-then tax-and-spend-even-more liberals don't get to talk about fiscal conservative ANYTHING without bloated, hypocrisy-dripping irony.
