First F-35 training squadron to form in 2011

Looks like they are starting to see the light at the end of the development tunnel for the F-35. Secretary of De fence Bob Gates is going to add $500 million to the 2010 defense budget to increase flight testing. He also reiterated that the first Marine’s F-35Bs will reach IOC in 2012 and the Air Force F-35As will reach IOC in 2012.
