Maj. Gen. Eric Fick has been chosen to lead the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program, the Pentagon announced today.
Fick, who has been the deputy director of the F-35 program office since May 2017, is up for a promotion to lieutenant general.
Should the Senate confirm Fick's nomination, he would succeed Vice Adm. Mat Winter, who has led the F-35 effort as its program executive officer since May 2017.
The F-35 program office resides within the Office of the Secretary of Defense.
