MIT Flying Club
On September 27, I attended an event hosted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Flying Club.  The event provided students and the broader Boston community an opportunity to experience the technology and prowess of America’s 5th Generation F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.  During the student presentation, the room was filled with energy and optimism, a refreshing change to the daily drumbeat of economic woes of American manufacturing and talk of a lost generation.  My takeaway is that the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter represents the future not only of our national security, but our economic security through its contributions to our manufacturing and technology industries.
