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.

You did well except for one little thing. Please do not use all caps. It kinda means you are screaming at us. It is cool though.

In the re-distribution of wealth, the government should be included. I will take 2, thanks.

One of the first basing locations for the Air Force version is supposed to be with the 158th Fighter Wing here in VT. The anti-military types are out of their minds about it. There is a full court press to try to stop the basing here.

There are a few of us trying to push back and bring the plane here.

Having lived for a while in Quechee, VT I can understand their opposition. It may interfere with the daily communing with the trees. NO doubt the strangest place I have ever lived.

One of my son’s friends has been flying one of these babies for over two years out in California for the Marines. He’s one of those helping to develop the weapons systems for the Corps needs.
