When I piloted aircraft, given they were only Tomahawks and Warriors, my elevators moved up on takeoff, pushing the tail down and the nose up, and away I, or we, went.

Every takeoff showed the elevators down, so what gives?

sweet....

On the day Obama’s budget is out. Let’s see, cut funding for the F-35 that strikes fear into the heart of our enemies and keeps the wolf at bay. Or tell lazy scammers that they don’t get other people’s money anymore.... Decisions, decisions...

For all of the negative press I have read about the F-35B you’d think the plane is an obsolete Turkey.But then this is the same press that said the F-15,16 and 18 were outclassed by everything the Russians produced and they could not fly and fight out of desert and winter environments.

I think we should disregard everything the enemy press has to say about these programs.As far as I’m concerned it’s a worthwhile expendature of our tax dollars unlike the Solyndra and Green energy fiasco.

Wonder if they are easier to control in VSTOL than the Harrier.
