While the Pentagon now expects the plane to fly until 2088, GAO found the services are planning to slash flight hours, which can help hold down the program's topline.

      Yeah, but it’s flying / electric, so it still takes full damage from both water and electric moves. And if the weather is sleet, it’s basically game over.
