Read this article when I logged into work tonight. Maybe by the time I can crosstrain out of the Space Command I can be a crew chief on one of these baby’s.

-- A pilot from Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., became the first Air Force and government test pilot to fly the F-35 Lightning II during a test sortie at the Lockheed Martin facility Jan. 30 at Naval Air Station Fort Worth.

A bit of good news to make one feel good about paying taxes!

Sure beats the he!! out of paying for tax rebates to illegals. ; )

The F-35 sure looks to be the aircraft of the future and a first class aircraft to boot.

I'm smiling along with the test pilot. : - D

"I have been smiling since arriving at the aircraft this morning and haven't stopped," he said.

We haven't been doing a lot of this lately. It's still possible and that is a good thing.
