Yep, taken last year. Flight test to see how well the two types linked up. Very successful from what I was told.

I'm excited for the -35 to make it's first appearance in Red Flag in three years.

Nope, those appear to be RAF. If you squint you can see the low-vis RAF roundel and the red and blue on the tail

This was taken last year.. I guess the F-35 already "met" the Typhoon.
The Typhoons sneaked up on the F-35 and told the guy to go home before he gets hurt.
I will take my coat now.

Well...while the Typhoons were picking on the F-35, the F-22 snuck up on the Typhoons and snapped this great photo!

My source says it was from the BBMF lanc, note the Typhoons AoA keeping the lanc in formation. The F22 was despatched with a burst of deadly .303 LOL

Well, actually, if Karl were telling the story, the photo was taken from an EE Lightning

The photo was taken from an Iranian built drone based on the RQ-170

Why would the Iranians send up a drone when they have the uber-awesome Qaher-313 world beater?

All those shapes and angles, makes it look.....I don't know, fat..
Of the F-22 and the F-35, I'd say that the F-22 was the better looking bird..
Actually had to Google the F-22, couldn't remember what she looked like!
Have to say, I'm surprised that they didn't gave them canards, as they seem to have been popular in later aircraft designs...

Viggen, Draken, Gripen - what the heck is up with you guys and those dang canards?

Not sure if an EE Frightning could go that slow !

Maybe they work?
Draken with canards?
I read that some big wig in the US would never consider an A/C with canards....dont know why though.
