I live next to this base and they just got 144 shipments of these F-35 Lightning II fighter jets, they fly so high but they're so loud. They fly them everyday.
I misunderstood the article I read, they just said it will house a total of 144 F-35's, which does not mean that they will get them all at the same time. "On 16 July 2013, the Air Force announced that Luke AFB will house a total of 144 F-35A Lightning IIs."
Green strip on tail? Those are formation lights to allow the plans to be spotted by friendly pilots at night. As for the rest of the lighter grey lines and patches. That's just panel work that increases the durability of the RAM and further helps the plane's profile break up visually. I beleave the panels a are molded in color in the autoclave.
This video shows the "A" model of the F-35. This model was not intended for STVOL in mind but have extended range or payload. The landing gear is not designed for carrier operation to save weight. This model will be purchased by Canada, Australia and Malaysia to name a few who want the "A" model.
F-35 order for Canada has been put on hold...which is a good thing given how all F-35's are now grounded until they can find a solution for the engine blade cracks. All in all, this plane is shaping up to be an epic White Elephant.
To all those russian fanboys, how come there are always videos of Russian planes maneuvering when their "clean"(no external stores) and very few to almost no videos of them "dirty"(equipped with external stores)?
This plane is not fully developed yet and the b52 bombers had problems when they were first made and now they are great bombers. you should see the technologies of the f35.
the word is called inflation , Things are expensive now a days especially new technology . thats why this plane can't be compared to and 4th gen fighter .
You an engineer or a pilot working at lockheed that has access to information the public does not? Do you know how difficult it is to produce an aircraft? Its hard as hell and when your producing 3 vastly different variants of the same plane there are going to be problems but it is well worth it considering the F-35's capabilities. The F-16 doing the same role is going to be shot down by an ever increasing amount of SAM threats and better aircraft.
Well for starters, a LRIP lot 7 F-35A costs $97 million compared to a F-22's $144 million. Furthermore, the CPFH For the A is said to be roughly $25,000 or 10% more than an F-16. Comparatively the CPFH for the F-22 is $44,000. comparatively the F/A-18E Super Hornet, costs $79.43 million When comparing kineatics, sure an F-35 has no chance against a clean legacy fighter. The thing is however, you start loading munitions on these fighters, and all of a sudden the F-35 has the edge.
Um, except for the fact that this is an F-35A and has nothing at all to do with the Yak-141. Of which there were only two built, and were almost totally funded by Lockheed.
Small wing area means incredibly high wing loading. Not sure how effective she can be in a dogfight. If anyone thinks dogfighting is a thing of the past, your either naive or your reading too many popular science magazines. Unfortunatley only a "hot situation" will prove how good this airplane is. Speculation is nonsense.
Факт что американцы "сотрудничали" с ОКБ Яковлева остается фактом. Так что не стоит спрашивать: что скопировали? Решения по двигателю, в частности поворотное сопло, хвостовое оперение. На счет подъемного вентилятора не в курсе. Ну и безусловно вся электроника у ф35 разработана в США. Так как для як 141 она была в процессе разработки и к ней доступ вряд ли получили. Да и за 20 лет элементная база поменялась =))
I try new Windows 8 RTM (it`s available on russian torrents)...And you know, after testing, dvd-disc with W8 was flying from 14 floor of my house...So,components can fly,if they manufactured by Microsoft...OS with tablet interface and tiles,without start button,without aero style,without background custom change...OS with bigest screen keyboard and menus...For blind people,or what? I hope,that americans fix all bugs, Balmer should remember Vista fault....
Canadians are really good at pretending they've got it all worked out. WHen really what they are good at is not doing anything. It's a nation of wall flowers and people who have gotten very good at being okay at being average. Keep up the okay work Canada! Good for you.

So Move !!!
Oh and by the way, and I could be wrong, I don't think they have made 144 F-35's YET!
I misunderstood the article I read, they just said it will house a total of 144 F-35's, which does not mean that they will get them all at the same time.

Henry Rivera It's all good, some times I over read stuff myself.
Merry Christmas My Friend.
Pete Vantell Merry Christmas to you too... and a happy New Year :)
what a beautiful fighting machine
F35 and f22 also f18 one of the best fighters out there you like it or not
Awesome now I can see these things fly over!
USA have the best fighters in the world and the best mean looking fighter jets.
May this amazing human realization be at the service of freedom, providing liberty and justice for all. G. bless America !
i like right by luke i cant freaking wait to see these flying
i could be wrong but those are I believe the navigation lights. The F-18 has them as well I think they look cool on all the jets
F-35 and F-22 are the best in the word

im getting one this Christmas!
Awesome!
awesome video

Its clever how they switch into " Silent Stealth Mode"
Where the hell is the pitot boom and AOA indicator on that last F-35?
F-35 order for Canada has been put on hold...which is a good thing given how all F-35's are now grounded until they can find a solution for the engine blade cracks. All in all, this plane is shaping up to be an epic White Elephant.
The F35 while not technically a supercruising aircraft yet, can maintain nearly over Mach 1.3 for a dash of 150 with out engaging after burners.
What is that thing in the nose that kinda moves?
so freakin cool!
To all those russian fanboys, how come there are always videos of Russian planes maneuvering when their "clean"(no external stores) and very few to almost no videos of them "dirty"(equipped with external stores)?
i think this is one of the best jets in the world. i mean do you know how useful it is to take off vertically on on aircraft carriers!
When do they get to take the training wheels off, I want to see these things getting agro!
See what Peter Wilson of BAE said.
sound cuts out
This plane is not fully developed yet and the b52 bombers had problems when they were first made and now they are great bombers. you should see the technologies of the f35.
Why does it have those stripes or lines on side of it..
the word is called inflation , Things are expensive now a days especially new technology . thats why this plane can't be compared to and 4th gen fighter .
Well said.
The F35 is growing up, less issues and more capability by the day.
You an engineer or a pilot working at lockheed that has access to information the public does not? Do you know how difficult it is to produce an aircraft? Its hard as hell and when your producing 3 vastly different variants of the same plane there are going to be problems but it is well worth it considering the F-35's capabilities.

im guessing thats a brand new f-35?
My new baby
Why exactly is everybody hating on this plane? It hasn't been in action, you have nothing to base your claims on.
By flying above their effective range and never being spotted in the first place?
Um, except for the fact that this is an F-35A and has nothing at all to do with the Yak-141. Of which there were only two built, and were almost totally funded by Lockheed.
Hey the tail has my initials on it!!!!!
They ordered it already
Who do some people hate this jet ?
I live by Luke Air Force but their is a lot of f/16 most of the time
we have 15 boeing lovers in here

USAF is the best!
wow lockheeds F35 is so hitech that they have no sound 2:09
Japan has agreed to buy these planes. F35 is the best said : Japanese defense minister Shigeru Iwasaki
What it sounded like you said was, "Blah,blah,blah."
F-8 + FA-18 = F-35

It's pretty mean looking.
ถูกต้องมีระบบดีกว่ารุ่น A

пиздатый самолет
Haha, I get it
Canadians are really good at pretending they've got it all worked out. WHen really what they are good at is not doing anything. It's a nation of wall flowers and people who have gotten very good at being okay at being average. Keep up the okay work Canada! Good for you.
и что в ф-35 скопировано? может двигатель? или может эллектроника? як -141 так до ума и не довели так что и копировать не было чего
FIRST!
Three commies disliked this vid. :D
Hey is that bondo on the fuselage?.
Semantics...so you wrote, "Blah, blah, blah." Happy?
second
Canada have ATI RADEON (AMD)...It`s much more faster than f-35!!!
hezbola rockets are short range waffle makers and couldn't touch this plane.
konischev
TROLL
blah blah blah is what you sounded like!
Ugly and far to expensive for bang vs buck. Same job can be done with F-16 at a fraction of the cost.
IAMTHEPROCESOR: Do make the Chinese videos, them use abundant grafic. Very fools words of you.
LMAO jealous of what exactly? UK?! They cant build anything by themselves and need US for EVERYTHING hahaha
That's a freaking ugly airplane...
that one isnt complete
Will Souther Still looks like a molded tampon with wings.
That is one of the most beautiful aircraft I have ever seen.
The internal payload makes it thick, but keeps it invisible. It was never a beauty contest:)
batmandeltaforce of course it's not a contest. That would make it sound like the F-22 had competition!
