Of Battered Aspect: Dave's Mad
We all make choices. If this is your choice - then it is right for you. You are the one living with the pain and you are the one that will live with the consequences of your choices. That is the power of choice.
Personally - I find betrayal one of the most hurtful things that can be done. It cuts to the core and undermines so many values.
Perhaps forgiveness will come - and a cheek will be turned - and you will be a bigger man for it all - perhaps. (Just remember unforgiveness is a poison we take hoping to hurt the other person.)
I hope the heartache fades - and the trust returns. Not everyone is out to hurt - look at the support and love you have Dave.
30 April 2012 at 03:16
I am so sorry you've been hurt. I'm even sorrier that hurt came by betrayal. That is the kind of hurt that stings the worst.
Know that there are people out here who love you and what you stand for, even if we've never met in person.
30 April 2012 at 05:30
Dave, it's such a relief to read this from you. Not that you got hurt - about that I am terribly sorry, and I hope whoever hurt you is too - but to learn that you haven't proscribed those emotions for yourself, and that you can acknowledge so openly that they are not only normal and natural reactions to hurt, they're also sometimes the RIGHT reactions.
I was badly hurt by someone (in word and deed, not flesh) many years ago. I decided then that I didn't need to have them in my life and while some forced closeness hasn't permitted a permanent divide, I have not and will not return to trusting them. I can't - if I got another dose of what happened last time I'm a little bit afraid it might make me never trust anybody again.
First I am so sorry for your hurt.
I have ironically this weekend suffered heartbreak. I would like your permission to use some of your words to express myself to that person. It is so hard for me to stop the hurt. And it has been going on a loooong time, and by family. Bless you and your words Dave, I learn so much from them. Thank you so much
People post little sayings on Facebook constantly, and most of the time I just ignore them because they're generally too sappy or just not really true when you think about them!
But, this weekend someone posted this: "God often removes a person from your life for your protection. Think about that before you go running after them."
I've not only not run after people in the past, but I've walked away from them.
I'm glad that you're doing what you need to do to take care of yourself. I generally do work on forgiving them, for myself - not them. But that comes with time. I have to be able to forgive without bringing them back into a relationship of trust. Until them, I prefer to stay petty, angry and unforgiving ...
i am sorry that you were betrayed. You never seem to me to be angry T people or mad lightly.
If you made the choice it might have been the only right one.
Sending you good thoughts and vibrations instead of the bad feeling you are expieriencing rit now.
Rage or be petty. It is your hurt, do with it as you will. Good piece of advice I was given when I was in a similar state, "Love him or hate him, he is still taking up WAY too much space in your head"
Some friendships have a shelf-life, Dave. If you have no expectation that a person will ever treat you with some basic level of respect, then it is time to end the friendship. He/she is not behaving like a friend.
And, by the way, it will be no great loss. Whatever you may think now, that person does not meet your minimum standards for friendship.

We wanted a quick weekend away with good accommodation , great food and lots to explore. The Wykeham Arms is the place to go! We were delighted with the location as the hotel was at the back entrance to the Cathedral grounds. This meant lovely short walks through the grounds to the High street and the surrounding lanes and riverside....

Cuteness that You Can Not Pass Up!
I just had to post this because we were playing today and Kylie just started jumping like crazy so I made Jeff get the camera. Isn't this girl precious!?
Well sorry about the delay of updating but things have been busy, and they will continue to be busy every weekend until after Halloween. But, that is the way I like it!!!!
The picture below just makes my heart go pitter patter because this is Jeff and Dillon spending some quality time together making Star Wars Legos. Jeff loved to do this as a kid, and he bought Dillon some Legos so they can share something to do together on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
Tennis time!!! Dillon wanted to play tennis and has been begging me for quite awhile so when I finished my 8 mile run, we went to the park to play tennis. Yes, I did say 8 mile run. I am training for a half marathon in hopes to lose more weight... or at least some. You can always check out my progress at dombroskiweightloss.blogspot.com if you are interested.
After tennis, which Dillon loved, we went over to the park. It has been such beautiful weather here I do not want to miss a day of activity outside because I know winter is coming around the corner and so is the indoors. I love the fall!!! The trees are starting to change a little here and when I see it I get butterflies in my stomach, it is gorgeous! It also reminds me that Christmas is coming around the corner.
When we came home from school one day I asked Dillon if he wanted to eat worms and dirt. Of course he thought I was teasing and thought I was the most disgusting mom on the planet, until he realized the end results was really pudding and candy worms. He loved making our worms and dirt and had a better time eating it!!
Kylie shared in the fun too, but she did not get the candy worms! She was cracking me up because she inhaled the pudding!
Here is Kylie girl sitting down to color. She loves to color and draw. She will actually sit there for quite awhile and keep herself busy with coloring, drawing, painting, and stickers. I love that she is finally into the activities because anyone that knows me well, knows that I love activities with the kids!!!
Well I need to soak in a bath because I am so sore from my 9 mile run yesterday. I have a soccer game tomorrow so I need all of the energy I can get since I am the oldest one on the team.
Have a great night and thank you for checking in!
Can you believe that I do not have any pictures to post? I am not on top of it this week. We have been so busy, but great times were had by all! Jeff and I started our weekend off with a date night. I love date nights with the husband, it is a nice time to unwind and just enjoy each other without the craziness in the house! We went to dinner and got to see the Hangover. It was hilarious! There were not that many people in the theatre so when my loud laugh started to get going, Jeff did not cringe with embarrassment.
Saturday started off with my joining a friend for a 6 mile jog. That was the longest I have ever jogged, but I did pretty good. Next weekend an 8 mile jog so we will see how that goes. I signed up with a friend to do the half marathon they have in town on Halloween. It should be fun! I am glad my mom decided she might come out for Halloween because Jeff and I are going to need all the help I can get with the kids after a run that long!!!!
After I got back from the jog we drove 1.5 hours to the amusement park and spent some time there. We love that place and the kids always have a good time. Then we went to our friend's house in Huntersville, NC to have some great BBQ. Thank you Kristy and Kelly for having us over! It was a great time!!!
Sunday was a little slower and we went to a BBQ with our friends. It was so much fun but I was absolutely exhausted from the day before, so when Jeff and I came home later that night! We just wanted to curl up and go to bed.
Now today is Monday and we have cleaning and lawn work to do. Have a great day and holiday weekend!!!
Since I have started back at school I feel so busy. I was very busy during the summer, but now I feel like I am on overdrive! I think it is because as soon as we get home Dillon is at the stage where he wants to play with his friends. You would think it would be a break from things, but sometimes they want to go outside, or they insist that I play with them. Here is Dillon and Carter playing outside. These two together are very interesting. They are fun and VERY active!!!
Watch out Dillon, here comes Carter!
I do not know why he wanted his little bike, but he wanted to ride that all around the neighborood.
Here is Kylie girl after finishing her painting. I wanted to try and do some craft time with her, but it was not as successful as planned. She LOVED it, I wanted it to be done quickly :-)
I just love this picture with the paint all over her and she was carrying around her broccoli. The kid loves vegetables. Dillon used to love them all too, but then he turned older and I am struggling with his eating habits right now!!!
Last but not least is a little video of the kids one day after school. They just bring Jeff and I so much joy. One of my favorite things is when the kids are doing something cute and Jeff and I just look at each other with such a deep understanding of each other and our kids. I truly feel so blessed with my family and our life. I hope everyone is having a wonderful day and thank you for checking on us!
Sorry the pictures are so small but I loaded them incorrectly, and now it will take more time to reload them correctly so you will have to bear with me. These are the pictures from our trip to the new museum that Greenville has to offer. I was at first going to boycott the museum because I thought the prices were too high, then a friend told me it was worth it so we packed up the car with the Carvalhos family and off we went :-)
This is a picture of Dillon with a spaceship simulation. What a great time! It looked like a space ship and the kids were able to take off and see what it was like in space. As Dillon would say, "It was awesome!"
I have never been good at making paper airplanes so when I saw this center, I was not ready for it. However, it gave great detailed instructions that I could follow easily and I did it! Dillon loved it and we made about 3 and were able to bring them home with us.
This was Kylie's favorite part. They have a grocery store setup and it talks about nutrition. Kylie loved taking things off the shelves and putting things in her cart. The NOT fun part was when the parents have to put the items back on the shelves for the other kids to use. Kylie threw an absolute fit when it was time to leave this section!
Here is Dillon having a great time shopping :-)
He actually picked up a vegetable!!!! He knew it was not real, so he could do it. I wish that kid would eat better. He used to love everything, now he is a picky eater like his father.. thanks Jeff!!! :-(
They had another cool section where you get to pretend to make a cake. Dillon, my little chef, was at this section for quite awhile until he made his masterpiece. He keeps telling me when he grows up he wants to be a teacher, artist, chef, and daddy. I keep telling him that he can do whatever he wants :-)
Here is our little Kylie girl to the rescue. The bear was very sick and needed her absolute love. Unfortunately she does not understand all the loving and gentle factors so she was throwing the thing around quite a bit :-)
Here are Dillon and I on the climbing apparatus they had. It was really cool!
There goes Kylie!!!
This is how we brush our teeth, brush our teeth, brush our teeth. This is the way we brush our teeth so early in the morning. Can you hear the song in your head now? I bet it will be taunting your head for awhile now while you sing the song after you are done reading this post. HEHE!
The contruction section was amazing! They thought of everything for this museum.
Here is Kylie picking up the bricks.
Dillon in the tree house.
Kylie playing with the water. I am so glad they have a cover for the kids to wear there because I did not know they had this extravagant water section where the kids can play. I loved the little baby table they can sit at and still play with the water. Kylie kept trying to drink it. YUCK!
The last picture is of Kylie with her first official set of pigtails. When I picked her up from school, they were playing with her hair and were able to get them up. I could not believe it. We kept calling her a little ant because she looks like she has antennaes on her head.
I hope everybody is doing well and thank you for continuing the check in on us! Have a great night and I will post some more later this week :-)

Stayed at the hotel because I had to take morning flight out of Birmingham. Strategically located (Opposite to the international terminal used by Lufthansa). Restaurant has some decent cuisines to offer. Many brands of low alcohol beverage available on tap as well as in bottles. Complementary wafer at the bar counter. Room door is not sound proof and you can hear people checked-in late night and walking/chatting by your door. Wi-fi was poor and did not connect. Shower glass door bulky on flimsy hinges (felt risky). Good breakfast. Some of the staff members were new; had some issues during check-in/out. OK for money paid (already had low expectations because stayed earlier at Novotel next door).
Room Tip: Check if you can get room away from common passage

This was our second stay at the Ibis for our annual visit to Horse of the Year Show at NEC, and once again no complaints at all! Rooms are clean, beds are very comfortable, good shower, and it's really easy and quick getting to and from the NEC. Check in and out were easy and quick, and if you keep the window closed there's NO noise from the airport (our room was right beside the Skyrail, and we couldn't hear it at all). We didn't eat at the hotel, so can't comment on the restaurant. Would we stay again? ... We've already booked for next year!

Best decision we made was to stay at Ibis Hotel when leaving on early morning AerLingus flight to New York. The hotel was easy to find when entering the airport and it was only a five minutes walk to our terminal which was just as well since we had lots of luggage. It meant we could arrive before the crowds and then go have a coffee somewhere. The hotel room was compact but comfortable and had ensuite and was very quiet considering the location!Staff are friendly and helpful and there is a small restaurant on premises which served breakfast from very early in morning. We made the mistake of paying in advance so we could just leave early but then had to return to buy internet and phone time as these were not included.

Level Contributor 2 reviews 5 helpful votes “Great place for an airport trip”
Stayed here after arriving back on a midnight charter flight. Was still a warm and helpful welcome despite it being the middle of the night.Was pretty nice for an Ibis hotel - the decor seemed less bare and industrial than some of the one's I've stayed in. The bathroom was the usual Ibis fare. All clean and lovely.The bed was REALLY comfortable - and just what I needed after a long flight. All in all a great place to stay at a very reasonable price.The worst bit about the place was how badly signposted it was from the airport - it took a bit of discovery (and going the wrong way round the building) to find the place. This is a bit annoying considering this must be the main way that that people come to the place. But that is probably the airport's issue, more than the hotel itself (though would have been nice to have directions from the airport on the hotel's website).

We stayed at the Ibis Hotel at Birmingham Airport for two nights, one before flying and one on return.The hotel is very close to the Airport and so convenient. Just 3 mins walk. The rooms are small but comfortable and very clean. The 'pod' bathrooms are clean and functional if a littlesmall. The breakfast was excellent and reasonably priced. The beds and duvets were snugand overall it was a good choice for us.Tip:- If you are arriving by train - take the monorail to the airport - just a few minutes awayand you pass the hotel on your left. This is easier than walking to the hotel via various car parks.

Take a Look at the Official SDCC 2012 Swag Bags | BabbleOn 5 Movie Reviews
← Count Down to SDCC: T-Minus 2-Days! – Tr!ckster 2
Count Down to Comic-con: T-Minus 1 Day – SDCC Pick Up Lines →

Take a Look at the Official SDCC 2012 Swag Bags
For the third year in a row, Warner Bros. Entertainment will sponsor the official San Diego Comic Con “Swag Bag.” The bags will feature double-sided artwork and each will have the all-new Comic-Con 2012 official design on one side, with the other highlighting Warner Bros. titles, including TV series — live-action and animated — from Warner Bros. Television and Warner Bros. Animation, and upcoming theatrical features from Warner Bros. Pictures. The features TV titles include: Arrow, The Big Bang Theory, DC Nation, Fringe, Supernatural and The Vampire Diaries, along with motion pictures Man of Steel and Pacific Rim.
Over 130,000 of the bags will be made to guarantee that every badge holder will get their own swag bag, which have become very popular SDCC keepsakes over the past few years. They measure 24 x 9 and are an oversized messenger style bag, unlike last year’s, which could be converted into a back pack.
WB released these photos of the bag today . Not included is the art work for Man of Steel and Pacific Rim, which will most likely be a surprise for SDCC fans. Which one is your favorite so far?

I liked last years MUCH better
Great post, as I never seem to see the bags until I arrive at the con. However, this year’s bag artwork is a little disappointing. I suppose DC Nation is the one I’ll want. Really, as long I avoid any bags with teenage vampires, I will be ok.

Leach Family: December 2003
Yesterday was my first day completely alone with Spencer since he was born, and I think we both did ok. Of course he didn't take any substantial naps, so I was constantly with him, and only managed to get things done in very tiny blocks of time. I guess that is the way things will go from now on. So now it's two days in a row that I got in the shower while Spencer was quietly sleeping, only to turn off the water and hear him screaming because his little t-shirt had gotten wet from a leaky diaper.
And some genius at the city courthouse decided next month would be a good time for me to serve jury duty.
Today is Spencer's due date - how inconceivable is that at this point in time?
Since our life has indeed changed so much since Spencer's arrival, we decided it was time to change some things on the blog too. We consolidated the pregnancy links (baby's room, ultrasound pictures, belly pictures, etc. into an archive page and added links to Spencer's photo albums on the right side of the page. I also added a few new photos in the December Album.
It's dizzying how the days all just blur together, and how weeks have already started slipping away. Mom went back to NY after spending time taking care us of so that we could focus on taking care of Spencer. And, she of course helped out with the 3am diaper changes as well to present me with a clean baby for nursing. Now her hundreds of home-made cookies have dwindled down to two rugelach, but we are left with a freezer full of dinners for many nights to come.
I gave birth to Spencer three weeks earlier than my due date - the pregnancy was indeed considered full-term and, independent of his birth weight/length, Spencer is not counted as premature. I know this is not news to anyone who knows us, but it's become our new pet peeve to continually explain this to folks who keep asking if we got our dates wrong. It borders on insulting to ask a couple of engineers, not mention all of our doctors, ultrasound techs, etc. if we made a mistake and counted incorrectly. Our newest pet peeve is folks telling us how their own angel infant started sleeping through the night at some very young age. Spencer is 2 1/2 weeks old and we are not expecting him to sleep through the night any time soon. In the meantime, we're tired from feedings around the clock and those stories really don't help us feel any better.
Our baby is already more than two weeks old!!! On Thursday we both had our two week post-partum checkups and everyone seems to be doing just fine. My doc was pleased with how her stitches are helping me to heal, but thinks my abdominal pain is likely a muscle tear (probably from pushing for two hours) which will take several more weeks to fix itself. Spencer's hearing was re-checked and he passed the test which he initially failed in the hospital (but no one there was concerned because most newborns do no pass right away - fluid in the ears from the birth can prevent proper hearing for a short time.) It was also time to re-do his newborn bloodwork, which really sucked as Jim and I had to hold him down while they drew more blood from his heel by flexing and squeezing the pricked site. By the time we left, his eyes were glazed over and he was exhausted from screaming. Fortunately, we don't have to return until he is two months old - but that trip will involve shots.
Last night was Spencer's first Hanukkah!! The Parkhills all came over to celebrate as we lit candles together (Hunter had a special menorah to 'light!') and ate latkes and opened presents. I think Spencer may have gotten jealous of our holiday meal and insisted on being fed just as we were sitting down to the table. And so began what I am sure will be a long tradition of Jim and I tag-teaming to get through a meal. Check out some pictures!
With yesterday starting just the third week of life for Spencer, it seems that nearly everything is a first. First bath, first walk, first just about everything... except diaper, we are WAY past that first... Here is a new photo album that includes some of those firsts... Enjoy!
Today is a significant day for many reasons.
First, 100 years ago today, the Wright Brothers (actually, just Orville) flew for 12 seconds and covered about 120 feet. That introduced powered flight to the world.
Less than 20 years later, Also on this date, my Grandfather was born. Today is his birthday! In addition to countless other things, he is the one who introduced the world of flight to me. He got me my first flight lessons at the age of 16, and I have been hooked on it ever since. I'm very much looking forward to passing the love of flying on to Spencer in the same way.
Life is good. In fact, we think it's just perfect.
I love dressing our baby boy up in blue every day - he looks so darn cute! We've been bad about keeping up with photos, but will have some new ones posted soon. Right now, I only have a few hours at a time to get anything done, and usually sleep comes to the top of the 'to do' list. Although, things have gotten a little easier since we switched from 'feeding on schedule' to 'feeding on demand.' We're letting Spencer snooze as long as he would like during the evenings, and last night that plan allowed both of us to get some uninterrupted sleep from 12:30 until 5:00 this morning - whoo hoo! But, who knows what tonight has in store for us. We're pretty certain there is still one more feeding to go before we'll get some rest ourselves, and after that it's anyone's guess.
Hopefully the umbilical cord will come off any day now, and with his circumcision healing nicely, we are very much looking forward to giving this kid a good bath. Not that he smells or anything (the parts that get really dirty get cleaned regularly) but I think we would both feel better to wash him up a bit. Unfortunately, we fear that Spencer may very well hate the idea of being naked for an extended period of time.
For now, we have been adding more photos, including the ones from the Bris to the same ofoto album. Click here to see the latest pictures...
Yesterday was such a big day for Spencer, and us, as we celebrated his Brit Milah. The day started early with guests arriving around 9:00 and by 9:30, our home was filled with so much love from family and friends. Spencer was a real champ - he didn't even utter a peep during the circumcision. After that deed was completed in the back room, we gathered around in the living room to publicly name the baby, and explain the significance of the names we had chosen for him. The "S" for Spencer is from my grandpa Sidney, and "J" for Jacob is for Jim's grandma Jane - neither of whom are around to be a part of his life, but we hope that their namesake will live on, and that traits we admire about them will be reflected in Spencer's life. It was an emotionally draining event for new parents, as we continue to struggle with the adjustment to our new sleep schedule.
It would be very easy to use this space to vent about the serious frustrations new parents experience during the first week of their baby's life, all of which are compounded and made to feel infinitely worse by the lack of a full night's sleep. Instead, I thought I would share Jim's funny observation which we have both experienced. As everyone knows, babies need help to burp after being fed. But, at least for Spencer, the burp takes a couple of minutes of coaxing. We've noticed that while we're holding him to our chest, and gently patting him on the back over and over, we often end up making ourselves burp too!
My sweet baby boy! Already I love being your mother and am so thrilled you have joined your daddy and I here even earlier than we had anticipated. We just couldn't be any happier or prouder than we have been since you arrived. Seeing how we can change your mood from utter despair to ultimate contentment simply by changing your diaper or swaddling you up tightly in a soft blanket gives us a ridiculous amount of pleasure. Right now you're sleeping a lot, but during those times when you are awake, it's an indescribable feeling as you stare back at us with those curious eyes. The past few days have been eventful for all three of us, and we are excitedly looking forward to our upcoming journeys together as a family.

I completely forgot to blog yesterday after I spoke with grandma. When mom visited her on her birthday (Monday) she dropped off the scrapbook photo album from her birthday party that I worked on in October and November. She called a few times later in the evening but was only able to leave messages because we were out at the Aeros game. But her messages were so cute - she absolutely loved her gift. We finally spoke with each other on the phone yesterday morning and she just couldn't say enough. That made me feel really good, because it was quite a bit of effort to put my first scrapbook album together in a time crunch and it's nice when people show such appreciation. Grandma had a friend over and was in the middle of showing the pictures off to her when I called, and then they were headed down to one of the common areas so she could show the album to more of her friends! Very cute.
While Jim was out at CAP last night, and I decided to see what I could make to use up the extra cranberries in the fridge that I had bought last week before Thanksgiving. I decided on this recipe for Cranberry Coffeecake from epicurious.com. When Jim got home, we watched Queer Eye together and enjoyed the cake hot from the oven - yum! I thought it would undoubtedly turn into a big pink swirl, but the layers stayed neatly separated in stripes and it even looked very cool! (I've got some here for snacking on this morning and it's still yummy the next day!)
Hopefully we will have some new ultrasound pictures to post later tonight. I hope they are the 4D, but we are not sure what they will use today. We keep getting asked what is the difference between the 3D and 4D, and the answer is motion. 4D is like a video in 3D. I was able to get one of the smaller clips uploaded so everyone can see what it looks like. As you can see, Spencer has a pretty decent right jab that he throws at Bonnie's insides... The clip is big (2mb) and may take some time to load, but its pretty cool to see the movement... Click here to see it.
Well, it looks like we have entered the last month before Spencer arrives (unless he's way more stubborn than anyone thinks he is and hold on until January)... Tomorrow will be the end of the 37th week, so we officially have a full-term baby. Tomorrow is also another Ultrasound and then a visit with the Dr. to take a look at how things are progressing. The ultrasound is mainly just to determine how big he actually is in there. We haven't had an ultrasound that was diagnostic since week 20. At that time, he was about a week ahead of average and Bonnie's measurements have tended to also show him a week or two ahead of growth progress. Check back tomorrow evening to see what we find out. Maybe even a new ultrasound picture or two...
Champions again! (OK, I didn't actually play in the hockey tournament this year, but I'm still happy to share in the excitement from the weekend.) It was still lots of fun to hang out and visit with our hockey friends whom I don't get to see very often any more. It's frustrating to think that it may very well be close to a year of no hockey before I get the chance to put on my skates again.
The long weekend was a nice break away from the office, and now today is just another Monday morning back at work.
Two more days until our next dr. visit for the baby. Plus an ultrasound. We're both very anxious to hear and see the latest updates about our son!
& HAPPY 90th BIRTHDAY to my grandma and Happy 27th to Jim's Brother Rob!

Israel eyes new Lockheed F-35 fighter
Wed Jun 4, 2008 | 3:31pm EDT
| WASHINGTON WASHINGTON Israel wants to start buying radar-evading Lockheed Martin Corp (LMT.N) F-35 fighter jets as soon as 2011, with delivery likely about two years later, a U.S. F-35 program official said on Wednesday.The interest in acquiring an initial batch of up to 25 F-35s dovetails with Israeli fears that Iran is seeking a nuclear bomb and could have it as soon as 2010, sooner than predicted by the United States.Iran says its nuclear ambitions are limited to generating electricity.Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said in Washington on Tuesday, at the start of a three-day visit to the United States, that the Iranian nuclear program must be stopped by "all possible means".The single-seat, supersonic F-35 is hard to detect by radar and is designed to knock out enemy fighters while simultaneously carrying out bombing missions.Olmert was to meet President George W. Bush later on Wednesday for talks that could include Israel's interest in the F-35A Joint Strike Fighter. Israel also may be interested later in the F-35B version that can land vertically."It's possible that things could come up," said Dana Perino, a White House spokeswoman, when asked about possible Bush-Olmert talks on arms sales to Israel. "Obviously Israel wants to defend itself, and the United States has been supportive."An Israeli Embassy spokesman declined to comment.
Israel is seeking to integrate its own weapons, communications, command, control and intelligence systems into the F-35, said the Pentagon program official, speaking on condition of anonymity due to the matter's sensitivity.The U.S. official predicted a government-to-government agreement would occur in the fall of 2009, after the projected completion of contract negotiations and technology-transfer pacts.Israel recently submitted a formal request for pricing information and wants to start buying "as early as fiscal 2011," the official said, adding deliveries typically take about two years.Lockheed Martin, the Pentagon's No. 1 supplier, said on Wednesday it had "production maturity and capacity to handle additional F-35 aircraft in the 2011 time frame and beyond." The company calls the F-35 the most electronically advanced aircraft ever built, with capabilities unavailable in current multi-role fighters.
The F-35A is expected to have an unrefueled combat radius of 600 nautical miles or so, according to the Congressional Research Service and other experts, meaning the distance it could travel to a target and return without refueling.Possible Iranian targets are more than 700 miles from Tel Aviv, depending on the flight route. Israel recently has stepped its work on mid-air refueling.Israel's proposed early purchase of the F-35 is good news for Lockheed Martin and for the Pentagon program, which is pushing co-development partners to stick to projected purchase plans to keep the aircraft as affordable as possible.The "average unit recurring flyaway costs" for the F-35A have remained stable in the upper $40 million range in baseline 2002 dollars, said John Smith, a Lockheed Martin spokesman. Early purchases could cost considerably more.
So far, Lockheed Martin has one U.S. order for two F-35As plus funding authorization for six more along with six of the F-35B "short takeoff and vertical landing" models.Eight countries, including Britain, Turkey and Australia, helped foot the bill to develop the F-35.Lockheed's key subcontractors are Northrop Grumman Corp(NOC.N) and BAE Systems Plc (BAES.L). Two separate, interchangeable engines are under development by United Technologies Corp's (UTX.N) Pratt & Whitney unit, and by General Electric Co (GE.N) and Rolls Royce Group Plc (RR.L).Britain is due to get two F-35As from the third production batch for its operational tests and evaluation. The Netherlands would get one. Italy is close to a final decision to buy one at the same time.An Israeli purchase might be part of the fifth production series, the Pentagon program official said, about the same time Australia may buy its first.(Additional reporting by Jeremy Pelofsky and Jeffrey Heller in Washington, Dan Williams in Israel; Editing by Tim Dobbyn)
