The New Plane is in Israel

Significantly late, but it’s finally happening, passing over us now are the
first couple of Adir airplanes, the stealth planes, coming from Italy
escorted by Israeli fighter planes. In one minute they’ll land on the strip
here and get to the ceremonial square. We had [here] a battle with the
weather in Italy – the Italians didn’t allow, because of the heavy fog, for
the planes to take off, only a strict intervention by the Americans finally
allowed it (to happen). Backstage to this event is a very interesting quote
from Donald Trump, the American President Elect, he talks about the
manufacturer, Lockheed Martin, having significantly exceeded the budgets
for developing the F-Thirty-Five, and he’ll work towards cutting this and
these expenses down. This thing obviously makes everyone around here
pounce, as well as the Lockheed Martin senior (representatives) who came
here in order to greet the plane when it lands in Israel for the first time.
Israel is the first country outside the United States to enjoy the F-Thirty-
Five.
