F35 Pictures

AF-01, AF-02, and so on are the way they are designating the planes for the F-35 series. Same as BF-01, BF-02 (for the STOVL version) and CF-01, CF-02 (for the Carrier Varient). They will continue on till all are produced. AF-06 and AF-07 have the tail flashes like you see on most fighter now a days, but AF-01 through AF-04 have what you see. AF-01, BF-01, and CF-01 have the fancy tail flashes (we call AF-01 the princess plance cause they get all the attention and pictures).

AF-01 and AF-02 are what we call flight science birds, mostly flying to verify all flight parameters (high speed, stall, ect.). AF-03 (the one I am assigned to) is fully mission capable) AF-04 is a hybrid, a combination of flight science and full mission capable. AF-06 and AF-07 (there is no AF-05) are the first fully capable aircraft with all the bells and whistels they are supposed to have. AF-06 and AF-07 have the Eglin tail flashes, but will never go as we have modified them so much they will remain here.

Also, from what I am being told, and havent confirmed, is that the Serial numbers used for the F-35 are a continuation of the serial numbers from the P-38. So the last serial number used in the P-38, the next number is used on AF-06 and continues on, hence why AF-06 is 0744 and AF-07 is 0745, and so on......

Now that's cool. Didn't know that.

Just found out that we will have a P-38 here for a photo shoot with the F-35 in October. Will post photos when they come out.

Some new F-35 photos.

Great shots mate!
The first two look photoshopped to me, but she looks much better on that angle than in the previous shots.

Cool shots!

The first two shots are all real, no photoshop involved.

Those are spectacular Beau!!!!!!! Excellent shots sir!!!!!
