heh, I just recently taken a liking to this new jet fighter made by Lockheed Martin of the Joint Strike Fighter program that made its maiden flight in '06, the F-35 Lightning II. I seen some amazing videos of this kickass lookin fighter, doubt we'll see them in air shows anytime soon. hell, I'd even like to see the F-22 Raptor in air shows. I hear the F-35 Lightning is a hell of a lot cheaper to build and maintain than the F-22 Raptor. and I love how it's designed, I love the STOL/VTOL conversion of this wonderful jet. I even seen it in 2 movies. Superman Returns, and Live Free or Die Hard. I know there must have been a thread about this plane when it came out, but I couldn't resist making a new thread. plus I didn't wanna confuse anyone by posting in like a year old thread or something :/
