The Air Force is slipping another
trick past its vaunted programs. They may seek Continuing Resolution
Waivers from the US Congress for two critical programs currently in the breach of development. The KC-46 is
going for its first test flight this weekend and the F-35 is deploying its
Model A to the Military inventory and several other nations while in the midst of some budget controversy.

This is great news for the programs, if followed up, and
successfully completed. It's my kind of big news on the defense front. However, carving
out budget for its programs is a "Hail Mary" throw at the goal post. It also means the Air Force would be going to the mat for the two different frames and
pushing the programs forward.
Otherwise, it will be stagnation for programs so corrosive as salt on iron.
