I've Been Thinking:
Israel is about to receive its first set of F-35 fighter jets. These are the hottest item in the world of fighter jets at this stage.
The F-35 is a stealth fighter. It is undetectable to radar.
Israel ordered thirty-three F-35s from Lockheed Martin at a total of about $4.75 billion - about $110 million each. The thirty-three fighter planes will be housed in two airbases.
Israel has already renamed their F-35, they are calling it "Adir" which means very special.
A ceremony took place at the Texas Lockheed Martin plant where the planes are nearly ready to be shipped. All that remains are the computers and the electronics. That is what will make Israel's Adir F-35 that much more special than all the other 130 stealth fighters that have been manufactured thus far to date.
Israel is "souping them up." That is the expression used in the race car world. And in the world - and in the world of stealth fighter jets.
