1st RAAF F35

 

 

Anyone understand how the first one was shipped? Is this some sort of function of training, so the crews there learn how to coat the aircraft, or is there something I am missing?

 

Tthis was just a stock photo of the first AU F-35 as that photo was released a couple of weeks ago. They have painted it by now and it's going to the pooled training centre at Luke AFB.

Great looking aircraft, looks even more like a spaceship than the F-22.

 

Can't wait to see one in the flesh here in Australia.

 

Looks like an overweight sparrow compared to the F-22, while the Raptor truly deserves its nickname.

Hey all, I have always supported the F-22 Raptor and the JSF F-35's as they improve they get better, it goes to say that has been true for all fighters in its development life cycle.

I think F-22 can carry 8 SDBs + 2 Aim-120s + 2 Aim-9 in side bays. At least the pictures i`ve seen of the LAU-142/A amraam vertical eject launcher suggest so. Compared to F-35`s 4 SDBs + 2 Aim-120s it`s a lot more ;) I don`t see how F-35 can carry 8 SDBs and 2 AAMs in smaller bays with fewer hardpoints - let`s face it F-22 has 8 internal hardpoints, F-35 has 4.

To whom it may concern,

I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that.

Thank you for you patience.

 

 

Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..
