    The seals and segments on multiple jets were not installed correctly… the power and thermal management system controllers, electronic units, and an electric-hydrostatic actuator on a jet’s trailing edge flap — failed… One jet’s left main gear brake assembly also failed, another fighter’s panoramic cockpit display failed and yet another jet’s backup oxygen system bottle was leaking. All components also needed to be removed and replaced.

    “This is not an all-inclusive list and other component failures have occurred since this report,” Fisher wrote.

    “We take pride in the quality of the aircraft we deliver to customers around the world and assess all reported customer feedback on production quality and parts reliability,” the company’s statement said.

    Lmao. Savage for the reporter to put this right after the list of failures.
