US Keeps Pushing Norway To Buy Joint Strike Fighter Jets

In otherwise general remarks aimed at nurturing relations between the US and Norway, Whitney made it clear that he and his president want Norway to commit to buying Joint Strike Fighters from Lockheed Martin. The F-35 JSF jets would be produced at Lockheed Martin's Fort Worth division in Texas, Bush's home state. The JSF program aims to build three versions of the same single-engine stealth fighter plane for the US and eight allied nations. It represents a huge investment and billions of dollars are at stake, making it critical for the US defense industry that foreign partners play along. http://www.aftenposten.no/english/local/article1327310.ece
