Quote: Olsen further alleges that low-quality stealth coatings have not only worsened the radar and infrared visibility of the F-22, but that they have been a factor in dangerous and expensive accidents - as when a piece of coating broke off and was sucked into an F-22 engine last year, causing over a million dollars of damage.

Lockheed doesn't give anything back. On the other hand, they are building the Joint Strike Fighter, so maybe they'll do better with that?
