Lockheed-Martin buys parts from Hamilton Sundstrand for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. They were visiting Rockford today showing what the plane can do using a flight simulator. The trip is to build even more support for the program from employers, taxpayers and congressmen.
Rep. Robert Schilling said, "It's expensive to have our freedoms and protect the U.S. so the big thing is that we have to appropriately spend money and I think something like this is putting us at the top. [This is] who we are and what we are about."
Hamilton Sundstrand manufactures electrical control systems--pumps and a variety of other parts for the plane. About 50 other suppliers in Illinois also make parts for the F-35.
