☆ I tested the game-changing F-35 stealth fighter, an incredible jet that demands more than just great flying skills from its pilots

Billie Flynn spent years as a pilot in the testing program for the F-35 stealth fighter jet. I was involved with the F-35 program for essentially 20 years after coming over to Lockheed Martin from the Eurofighter Typhoon program. AdvertisementAdvertisementA Lockheed Martin F-35 fighter jet performs its flight display at Le Bourget on June 20, 2017 during the International Paris Air Show. So there really are pilots who are better than others, but as a test pilot, that flying skill is what keeps us alive. And I think that's thanks to incredible engineers, incredible designers and incredible military fighter pilots who were instrumental in developing the airplane.

Retailers are moving away from using chartered ships to get around pandemic-triggered disruptions now that congestion at ports has cleared and pressures in supply chains have eased. A representative for Home Depot said it stopped using chartered vessels earlier this year as space opened up in global shipping.

Most other companies, like Home Depot and Costco, relied on third-party companies to operate chartered ships.
