One thing, two thing, a whole bunch of thing. F-35 delivery of the latest and greatest block Lightning warplanes DELAYED for at least a year.

"Alarming news for F-35 users: unforeseen one-year delay looms ahead"

"The delivery of F-35 fighter jets is on hold and may take up to a year to resume, according to a recent Government Accountability Office [GAO] report. Lockheed Martin has about 80 F-35 jets ready for delivery since last fall. These jets have the new Tech Refresh 3 [TR-3] computer upgrade, which is still being tested. Because of this, the government hasn’t accepted any jets yet, and they remain parked. For security reasons, the number and location of these jets are not disclosed."

Parked but not parked without movement from time to time I would like to believe. Otherwise the aircraft tires going to go flat on the first landing!
