(click pic for hi-res) F-35A: Conventional Takeoff & Landing (CTOL) USAF variant
Not a lot of words here, the images and video will do most of the talking. But I will say that while I'm about as far away from being an industry insider as you can get, when I look into the F-35 program I'm still encouraged. I think it's a great airplane that's gonna do just what we need it to. Our bigger issues have to do with our government, and whether there's any fight left in the people for "truth, justice and the American way". No doubt, it's a critical time... I hope we all take it serious, before it's too late.

Go back to the F-22 you dumb-dumbs. It's faster, stealthier and has better avionics and if someone was not paying the president to switch programs like he is, tax payer dollers would not be wasted, and you would have an awsome weapons platform to work with on strike and intercept missions. But hey what do you know your only the tax payers who empty your pockets to fund this stuff and yet you accept it. Verry confussing.
You do realize the F-22 is an Airforce aircraft? The F-35A is for the Army, F-35B the Marines, and F-35C the Navy. These guys don't share aircraft, and make up their own mind on which aircraft they want to fund and buy. If the Marines want a STOVL aircraft, something that the F-22 can't do, then they have ever right to if they feel it will help our warfighters.
i still prefer F-35 over any other strike fighters with this capabilities. F-22 is an airsuperiority fighter, F-35 a strike fighter with 3 variants. love it.
