Lockheed Martin rolled out the full-scale model and cockpit demonstrator of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter for an international audience at the Korea Aerospace and Defense Exhibition trade show in Seoul. According to Lockheed official David Scott, the JSF could be available as early as 2014 through the US Foreign Military Sales program for countries not currently involved in the multinational development effort.
F-35As from the Vermont Air National Guard have deployed to Puerto Rico in recent days, continuing a major buildup of U.S. Air Force assets in Latin America aimed at combating drug trafficking and pressuring the regime of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro.
