      They already produce more than that and are ramping to one per day. Same rate as an F16 with 5 times the parts, and about 1200 times the complexity.
      Actually I have no idea what is making it out the door or on what schedule. I was just being a smart ass.

      Just seems like a pretty laid back atmosphere is all..

        I dunno. I wouldn't be that laid back working on a $100,000,000 plane.

            Yep 53 foot dry van. When on dod loads o have to call every time I plan on stopping so folks tracking dont freak out
            Dont always have shadow or at least they dont let me know
            Have a red shit hit the fan button on dash never used it but hear it calls out every one up to airforce depending on what it maybe.
            Most of the time I'm told to sit in my truck and stay there. One time for fun I joked what if I have to take a piss.?
            He handed me a coffee can. Dont think.he thought it was funny.

            When going through dod check I was made aware I was expandable.
            Last year I was delivering some electronics to Virginia beach Va. Right across from.me was about five or six ships.
            They where so rusted up and paint looked like shot
            I figured they was getting ready to be decommissioned.
            I.started looking them up and they where all not even close to being 1/3 of the estimated life
            One was less than 5 years old
            Made me hate Obama even more
            Was sad as hell looking at them.

              /\ /\ /\ Hate Obama more? He sped the rust process up in a saltwater environment somehow? Don't get me wrong, not a fan either but have you ever spent time around heavy blue water vessels?

                A person can do quality work without a stick in their ass, and each person is probably really good at what they do, so confident enough to be able to relax a tad. I'm the same way, laser focus when needed, but life's too short to be stressed 8 hours a day.

                  Still no reason the paint should look faded and in port why was no one cleaning and painting? Salt water is no excuse for the greatest navy in the world looking like a shit.
                  And no I dont think I can hate him any more, but it won't stop me from trying..
                  Check out budget cuts for upkeep and spending for liberal programs. They look like shit. I will dig ip.some pics of them
                  Not like lack.of labor is a pronlem.
                  And I bet I see more navy vessels than you have.. ( I deliver the noise makers quite often. in my book big difference in garbage barges to well sites than the us navy.

                      I'm watching them shove a beautiful Pratt and Wittney right up the gaping hole in the rear of one of those things over the last few days..
