Are these birds even allowed to fly? Just think of the carbon footprint.

In today's market, you can expect 0% and a $2,500 dollar rebate.

And if you can tow, drive, or drag another plane in, another $2,000 dollars for the trade-in.

We're Lockheed Martin, and our prices are INSANE!!!!

The other thing that I have noticed about them(just witness observation) is that you don’t hear them coming....at all...until they are way...way... past you.

I actually saw them yesterday over FW loaded with their dummy bombs taking off for parts unknown. Now I know where they were headed.

Cool! Thanks for posting this.

God Bless Our Military! (and the men/women who make their ‘machines’ too)

achieved on the 69th flight

together have combined for 83 test flights.

For the math impaired, that means the STOVL version has flown 14 times.
