WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Pentagon on Friday suspended the flights of all
51 F-35 fighter planes after a routine inspection revealed a crack on a
turbine blade in the jet engine of an F-35 test aircraft in California.
It was the second grounding of the warplane in two months and marked another
setback for the $396 billion F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program, the
Pentagon's biggest weapons program. The program has already been
restructured three times in recent years and may face further cutbacks if
Congress does not avert major budget reductions due to take effect on March
1.
The F-35 program office said it was too early to know if this was a fleet-
wide issue, but it was suspending all flights until an investigation was
completed. A total of 51 F-35 jets were affected, including 17 that are
being used for testing and 34 in use for training in Florida and Arizona.
