President Donald #Trump nominated retiring Gen. Kenneth Wilsbach to be the service’s next Chief of Staff. If confirmed, Wilsbach will replace current Chief of Staff Gen. David Allvin, who announced he would step down on or about Nov. 1—about two years into a four-year term.

See you later everyone, going off radar while i work through this :D #FY26 #PB26

@macaquinh007 @ian_j_stewart @AlexLuck9 can you clarify, do you mean that in 2027 when Germany will get their F-35s in that year the US would not get any? or are you referring to the last year's pause in deliveries due to TR3 update not being ready?

[Anna Sliwon-Stewart @asliwon]

@AlexLuck9 @ian_j_stewart yes, some reshuffling could be possible, as long as the UK is able to pay. Also with USAF FY26 budget possibly procuring only 24 aircraft, it could free up some capacity

[Anna Sliwon-Stewart @asliwon]

@ian_j_stewart @scientistsorg The earliest UK could get their F-35A is early 2030s. Lockheed’s production line is maxed out almost through the next 10 years. Also depends on if UK will commit to buying more F-35Bs beyond the current fleet and contracted airframes.
