Air Force version of F-35 may be eliminated (Free Registration)
Loren Thompson, chief operating officer of Lexington Institute, says Defense Undersecretary Gordon England wants to stop development of the
F-35A and make the USAF buy the F-35C.
But some observers say that strategy would not save much money and would undermine Lockheed Martin's plans to sell large numbers of the F-35 to foreign nations.
The F-35A would be the highest-performance and least-expensive version of the three and is the one likely to be purchased by most foreign buyers.
