100% Truth. The only thing I ever ordered off the television and it's made of fucking win.

That's a wicked shot of the F-35 in flight - gorgeous HD detail.

If you care for more I have a bunch at Picasa Web Albums - Devon - F35 Prototype

One of the guys that transferred over here from Edwards Air Force Base used to work on simulating the cockpit for that, in order to train people without having the actual plane. He missed it coming through since he transferred but someone who used to work for him sent over the pictures.

From what I hear that prototype flies like a dog, it's WAY too heavy. They've spent close to 3 years now trying to make it lighter.

That makes me happy.

The Movado (black, blue face) is the type of watch I'd wear when dressed up, cause it's gorgeous.

The opened machine watch is the type I'd wear for me, cause it's awesome.

Crazy to hear that. From the pics it looks like the non-STOVL version for the USAF which I am surprised to hear that it's "too heavy". From my understanding the JSF was intended to be both modular and lightweight as a general replacement for the F-16 multirole fighter.

Well at least a bunch of Canadian aerospace contractors got work out of the JSF multinational agreements, hah.

They've since made it a ton lighter from what I heard. It definitely is intended to be modular and lightweight, it just didn't meet up to the lightweight part initially. It's also supposed to be the F-16 replacement like you said but if you look at the size difference in one of the pictures you can see it's a monster. I don't know what the newer prototypes are like but fairly sure they resolved the weight issue. It's just that particular prototype that's a behemoth, will probably be relegated to training purposes.

Also, sorry for shitting up the image thread with text and all that. >.>

Onion's post gets two thumbs up for awesomeness.
