JSF cost review linked to North Carolina jobs and bases
The U S Defense Department reviews the Joint Strike Fighter program to trim costs without weakening global posture. North Carolina officials push to protect Fleet Readiness Center East Cherry Point and local jobs, while Rep Water Jones forms a JSF Caucus to advocate for the program amid criticism of rising costs and inflation. Government and military leaders stress the F 35 as key to future air power, with claims of 127 000 jobs nationwide and ongoing depots and testing.
