T-CAT, My pleasure! I'm glad you enjoyed them! It was amazing watching the first two future fighters beginning their service life right before my eyes. These aircraft will be around long after I retire from the Air Force.

That must have been an incredible experience, and one you will remember forever and be very proud of. I am debating on joining the Air Force once I complete my masters degree. I am going to apply for a pilot slot via OTS and hope for the best. It has been my dream/goal since I was a young kid. I still have a few years until the age cut-off, and I would be disappointed in myself if I didn't at least submit an application. My friend flies in the Air Force and he is the same age, and he was chosen to fly the F-22 out of UPT. He was amazed to say the least.

T-CAT, I joined right out of High School and it was one of the best decisions, I ever made. I now have 22 year in service and will retire in 2 more at age 42.

Good luck!

Thanks Tony, I appreciate it. Thank you for your service, as it allows all of us civilians our freedom. It is greatly appreciated, and good luck with your retirement. You deserve it!

Here's another photo of the arrival of the first two "Air Force" F-35 Joint Strike Fighters to Edwards AFB! Enjoy!

Best,
Tony

Tony

I like the Freewing just for the fact that it flies!

What? Implying that the LX/Blitz doesn't. I have the freewing that came out several months earlier and it is far less scale than the LX/Blitz. The only thing that held me back from the LX was timing and Banana.
Do over I'd likely go with the LX.

I still waiting for evidence that the LX can fly!
