You do know that they are delivering aircraft which had been piling up because the DoD refused to accept nerfed aircraft with the missing Block 4 software right? Until the DoD decided to lower their own standards to get what are essentially glorified training aircraft.
The whole thing is a travesty. Worst of all is that I keep hearing that it is not just the software which has issues with this Block 4 iteration.
I am not sure if that is case? I was trying to figure that out myself, but I believe these may be new build aircraft?
You could be totally right though, it is hard to parse exactly what type of aircraft they are delivering.
I guess time will tell!
