Conan O'Brien Touts "Fan-TASTIC!" New F-35 Spot
http://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/8073/conan-obrien-touts-fan-tastic-new-f-35-spot
Conan O'Brien is no stranger to military-related humor, and President Trump's
seemingly sudden and extreme fondness for Lockheed's F-35 Joint Strike Fighter
caught his attention. The result of which is this spoof Lockheed spot showcasing
the company's "Fan-TASTIC" product.
The F-35 debate has actually spurred some pretty awesome real ads. This series
of Boeing commercials that ran in Canada were especially creative.
Meanwhile, the F-35 publicity push continues with the first F-35As arriving on
export customer Australia's turf this week. The jets, which flew across the
Pacific from Luke AFB, will be displayed at Avalon, Australia's largest air
show. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull stated the following about the jet during
their arrival:

"It is an example of how our defense industry plan is not simply securing our
Air Force and our Army and our Navy with the capabilities they need to keep us
safe in the 21st Century but it is driving the advanced manufacturing, the jobs,
the advanced technology that Australians need to make sure our children and
grandchildren have the opportunities in the years ahead."
Australia is prepared to spend roughly $17 billion on 72 F-35As, with the first
jets being formally delivered to Australia in 2018 and full operational
capability expected as early as 2020.
