January 19, 2018, was a big day at 5 Wing Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador, as Aviator Lorna Clark was sworn in as a member of the Royal Canadian Air Force.
Aviator Clark is the second member of the Happy Valley-Goose Bay community to join the RCAF Reserve, and is a proud member of the Métis community. Her enrolment is also special for the wing because Aviator Clark was recruited by Master Corporal Krista Blizzard, the first member of the RCAF Reserve to be recruited from Happy Valley-Goose Bay.

Le 19 janvier 2018 était un grand jour à la 5e Escadre Goose Bay, à Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador, où l'aviateur Lorna Clark a prêté serment à titre de militaire de l'Aviation royale canadienne.
L'aviateur Clark est la deuxième personne de la collectivité de Happy Valley-Goose Bay à se joindre à la Réserve de l'ARC, et est également une membre fière de la collectivité métisse. Son enrôlement représente aussi un événement tout particulier pour l'escadre, parce que la jeune femme a été recrutée par la caporal-chef Krista Blizzard, première personne de la Réserve de l'ARC à être recrutée à Happy Valley-Goose Bay.

Henosis is the Greek word for the concept of oneness or unity. There's an interesting juxtaposition in the fact that Lockheed Martin has chosen Henosis as the name for the new joint integrated mission system it is developing for the U.S. Air Force; it is simultaneously perfectly fitting for the omnipresent cybersolution the company has planned and seemingly antithetical to the goal of diffusing command and empowering different units to make independent, informed decisions.
Lockheed Martin believes that contrast is crucial to success in the future battlespace.

The director of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program recently gave aircraft maker Lockheed Martin a public slap on the wrist, saying the defense company is moving too slow in production, lacks transparency on costs and isn't streamlining production effectively.
"I am not satisfied in the following areas: the price is coming down, but it's not coming down fast enough; we don't know, to the level of granularity that I want to know, what it actually costs to produce an aircraft, and the number of quality escapes and what we call production line defects needs to get better," Vice Adm. Mat Winter told reporters at the F-35 Joint Program Office headquarters near Washington, D.C.
