Believe me, I know. My wife works for Lockheed-Martin, albeit on the Navy side of things, and I've been following the program since its inception...

The one good thing that's come out of the F-35 program is this: When last year's Lockheed annual report came, it had a picture of the F-35 on the cover. My daughter (~18-20 months at the time IIRC) picked it up and excitedly shouted "Airplane!" - and then proceeded to shake the report "book" and get very disappointed when the airplane didn't fall out. We were laughing about it for a good 10 minutes before we all managed to recover :)
