re: F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Thread
Nice to see those C birds flying. I know the DoD has placed all the USAF and USN F-35 assets at Elgin. I'm guessing that the active duty USN F-35C squadrons will be located at NAS Oceana and NAS Lemoore.
More photos..I'm looking forward to the day when we see the F-35C performing sea trails.
Presently the F-35B will be aboard Wasp until the 30th of this month.

And I concur with popeye 100% on everything he said.
Can't wait to see the "C" at Sea!
Outstanding photo navyreco!
The first F-35C Lightning II sortie takes off from the USN F-35 Strike Fighter Squadron VFA 101 at Eglin AFB on August 14, 2013

The C is a much better lookin airplane, and the poor little B, well les jus say, "not so much". The C also has completed an in-flight refueling with the KC-135, so all the variants have hooked up, and said "fill er up!". Regular or Premium??? brat

Popeye included the following pics in one of his US Military pic posts and I thought these about the F-35 would be good to include here as well:
Gotta tell you, Master Sgt. Karen Griffin did not look like a woman to me in several of these pics...only in the last one. She looks like she knows how to whip those Jr. personnel in shape.

Tally Ho!
What a GREAT pic. Those are three, production and in service F-35Bs flying in formation there from Marine Squadron VMFA-121, aircraft numbers 1, 5, and 16 from the squadron!
Tally Ho!

My Dutch newspaper wrote yesterday that both political parties that form the Dutch government now agree to buy F-35A's, but that the number probably cannot be higher than 35 as the budget is really limited. I don't believe they will really buy fewer instead of increasing the budget but that is said to be the agreement. The original number was 85.
