Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank the two witnesses for being here.
Over the past year, we've talked a lot about purchasing new fighter jets. More recently, we've been talking a lot about protecting the north, in the context of the war in Ukraine. My questions will be about those two issues.
I would like to hear what you think about the capacity of F‑35s to fly in Arctic weather. Some people have said that the aircraft might have some deficiencies in that regard.
