The F-35 Like You Have Never Seen It Before
Giz modo ^ | 5/17/10 | Jesus Diaz

Posted on 05/17/2010 3:22:56 PM PDT by mgstarr

These are the first photos of two F-35 Lighting II jet fighters flying in formation, just cleared for distribution by the Pentagon. They are so crispy and detailed you can even see the demon helmets inside the cockpit.

Super weapons in search of an enemy “the one” won’t name.

It looks cool, but for those who have seen the “Terminator T-3” attraction, it sure sounds almost word for word like the description of SkyNet in the opening vignette (LOL) — it just needs a 1980’s Shaq making a freethrow using an artificial eye.

My argument isn’t with the F-35 technology, it is with its price/performance. In fact this extends that argument IMHO. It is overkill 9and overprice) for 95% of MRF missions.

Aren’t WE the enemy?

That would be a very funny video — DAS on iPod and iPAD blowing away Android and Kindles... ;)

I’m pretty sure that is Angels Stadium in Anaheim at about 4:15 in the video.

At Universal? Ironic aside - that project was built by the company I worked for a while ago.
