Please do not talk nonsense. Flightline maintenance anyone can perform on their purchases. As for 'overhaul', there are several levels. Phase level overhaul anyone can do on their purchases. Depot level maintenance it is best to send the product back to the manufacturer and this is nothing new.Yes apparently it seems as US is giving this Bird to Israel Free. But one important thing is that US millitary aid can only be spent upon US equipment. from consultant to contractractor, all should be US firms. What does US achieves through this is an indirect welfare and long term protection of its defence industry. As after purchase, JSFs will have to fly to US for its maintainence and overhaull. ( i dont know what happened to Israel's purposal of maintaining their JSFs in Israel rather than flying them to LMCO)
