From my friend in the Military:

F-35B...WOW!

THIS IS THE MARINE CORPS VERSION OF THE F-35, AND THEY CAN'T WAIT TO GET DELIVERY. THE 'A' MODEL GOES TO THE AIR FORCE, AND THE 'C' MODEL IS THE NAVY VERSION. I'VE GOT A HUNCH THEY WILL BE FLYING THESE BIRDS INTO THE LATE 2030's. NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT FOLLOW-ON AIRCRAFT.

Short video of an amazing plane from Lockheed Martin.

I’ll take one.... And an A-10..

Darn it, another Marine aircraft. The computer keeps cursing at you and it when you put it on auto pilot it dives in the mud to try to camouflage itself. For some reason, it also seems to always pick fights with Navy aircraft.

[Airwinger]

And winning those fights!!!

Have they solved that whole “exhaust melting the air craft carrier deck thing?”

[SMARTY]

Hmmm... got me!!

I used the “clickable link” at #3, worked like magic for me.

So much for American exceptionalism huh? Just goes to show barack what good old capitalist competition can achieve. I just hope he doesn`t try to sell it abroad.

OMG!

[SMARTY]

“O” would be more likely to hand it over gratis... like I think he did with the drone

SONOBUOY PING!

Click on pic for past Navair pings. Post or FReepmail me if you wish to be enlisted in or discharged from the Navair Pinglist. The only requirement for inclusion in the Navair Pinglist is an interest in Naval Aviation. This is a medium to low volume pinglist.

....also seems to always pick fights with Navy aircraft.

If you're going to truly be Big League, you'd best practice against the VERY best.

Give SMARTY a little slack..(g)...his screen name is in ALL CAPS..he’s just an exciteable guy..

[ken5050]

Question....for a flat runway..nmot a carrier with a ski-jump..what is the minimum length needed for a combat take-off..

[SMARTY]

SMARTY is a she. It’s actually my brother’s nick name... I never had one.

AND, when I registered here, I didn’t know that the caps were going to appear permanently.

So there!!
