@493175001 So true! I flew the F-35 Cockpit sim and, althought it was nice and hi-tech, it still felt weird because you don't really push any buttons, it is all touch screen...
lol now that the Chengdu J-20 has made it's first flight and the F-35B being delayed the F-35 is even more of a joke now. Can't turn, slow, not much cheaper than the F-22, nowhere near operational, cost overruns etc etc.
A real quagmire for us Canadians, if only we could just buy some PAK FAs and be done with it.
VF-143!

@JJHS1977 Ain't that the truth! When the song "Nobody Does It Better" plays, I almost cry.

@RCKTBOY7 Especially when it shows VF-103 (Prev. VF-84). That was my dad's squadron...

It's a shame they're VFA-103 now, and the Lightning II isn't the sharpest tool in the shed as it seems now.

@RCKTBOY7 I forgot to add that my dad was also a student and an instructor at VF-101, and he flew Aggressor A-4's for VFC-12, all out of NAS Oceana.
