Americas newest fighter.

Spent 2.5 years of my life on this project.

Nice to see the chick finally leave the nest.

Sweet, did you work on the design?

I wanted to go to the Air Force when I was in middle school or so...really would be sweet to fly fighter jets.

You worked on the Lightning II? Holy shit, that is sweet. I love that jet fighter. I even hvae a poster of it.

Cheers!

I was in charge of flight test for all subsystems: electrical, fuel, hydraulic, aux power, envirornental control, and langing gear.

Mostly in the design reviews and flight test planning stages.

Pshh, that's nothing dude...I build my own HEADPHONE AMPS!

Seriously, that's cool man...I wanted to go to the Air Force Academy as well. I hope to get a private pilot's license someday.

Congrats!

How does it compare in terms of intended use with the F-22 Raptor?

that's sweet.. hope to see it at an airshow soon...

It's an F-16, F-18 replacement for the USAF and USN;

so it will be more focused on air-to-ground,

the F-22 is an air dominance fighter more focused on air-air type work; the F-35 and F-22 are complimentary

like the F-15 and F-16 have been for the last 30 years.

The RAF (UK) is also buying some of the Short takeoff vertical landing (STOVL) variants as is the USMC.

The F-22 has just been permitted to do air shows, and it has been flying since 1998 (in its test program)

the F-35 probably won't appear in an airshow 'flying' for many years.

Damn you people and your cool ass jobs.

I flipped when I found out what NeilPeart does for a living... and he's younger than I am!!!
