U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel is "very close" to a decision that would allow two or three F-35s to fly at the Royal International Air Tattoo, or RIAT, an annual military air show outside London, and the larger Farnborough air show, held every two years, said the sources, who were not authorized to speak publicly.

WNU Editor: Just a side note .... my go-to-place for F-35 news is the Eric Palmer Blog. For years he has been so far ahead of the curve on the F-35 program that I sometimes wonder why he has not been hired by governments to critique this program.
