Why America’s Two Top Fighter Jets Can’t Talk to Each Other - Bloomberg - https: //www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-04-02/why-america-s-two-top-fighter-jets-can-t-talk-to-each-other
Some crumbs for autists to follow:
F-22 - But budget considerations and initial optimism about a post-Cold War world cut short its production. In 2009, then-Defense Secretary Robert Gates ended the program.
Did they hold back on building more F-22s and not updating the ones they had to force the purchase of new planes, that have compromised communication systems?
Likely a dead end…
A test pilot for Lockheed Martin and the F-35 jet in the article is interesting, but maybe only in a tabloid way

He's a former CDN pilot, and was married to Canada’s governor general designate, Julie Payette
The St. Mary’s County courthouse in Leonardtown, a small county seat, is an hour’s drive from where Payette and Flynn lived together for several years on the shore of a sprawling river. Chesapeake Bay is nearby. Flynn still lives there occasionally.
Something happened on Nov. 24, 2011, that brought sheriff’s deputies to the house the couple purchased the previous year. Her lawyer at the time, Dan Slade, told the Star that the charges had “absolutely no merit” but he would not provide details. The state’s attorney who agreed to the expungement order also would not discuss the matter.
Payette’s former husband, Flynn, is a test pilot for Lockheed Martin and the F-35 jet. Previously, as a lieutenant-colonel in the Royal Canadian Air Force, he flew 25 combat missions over Kosovo and the former Republic of Yugoslavia. At the time of the 2011 incident, Payette had left the astronaut program and was in Washington at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. The couple both travelled extensively. When they purchased the Maryland house in 2010, Flynn was out of town and he gave his power of attorney to Payette to effect the purchase, paying $616,000 (U.S.) for the remote, 4,000-square-foot house and property, records show.
The Star earlier reported that a couple of months before the 2011 assault charge, *Payette struck and killed a pedestrian while returning home from a trip.** Police records show that after an extensive investigation, it was determined to be an accident, something the victim’s sister has told the Star she agrees with.

First, that back in late 2011 she was charged with second-degree assault while living in Maryland with her now ex-husband, test pilot William Flynn (the charges were dropped weeks later).
And second, as reported by the Star’s Kevin Donovan, earlier the same year a car Payette was driving hit and fatally wounded a 55-year-old woman named Theresa Potts. Police closed the case months later after concluding that Potts had poor eyesight and stepped into the road when she shouldn’t have.
A couple of days later, the Star published another unfortunate incident from Payette’s past — a fatal one, which also took place in 2011. Payette was behind the wheel when her SUV hit 55-year-old Theresa Potts at an intersection in Leonardtown, Md. Potts didn’t survive the collision. Payette wasn’t charged, but the history of the fatal accident lives on in the record books.
