I saw on the news today that the Joint stike fighter is going to be unveiled and named today in texas. Im a huge military buff and i want to know what its name will be. For example the f-16 Fighting Falcon so what will the F 35 (jsf) be called. Thanks to any replys.

Please resize that image. Also, why couldn't this have gone in the aircraft topic that we already have?

Nvm, stupid post. I noticed the words "Lockheed Martin" and got to thinking that's the name. Stupid, stupid. Lockheed Martin is an aeronautics company.

2 things, Mobeus

1). I did a little research; they named it the Lightning II

2). Resize that pic, or find a smaller pic, as Shindig told you to.

I didnt honestly know that the pic. was that big. I got it on a page that showed it really small. Sorry for taking so long-I havent been near my laptop in about 2 days.

The reason I didnt put it in the What is your favorite aircraft topic is it didnt seem on topic, and also not many people see that topic, or atleast not many people post there.


And to Assasinnf:
Yup I looked a little up this morning and found this on wiki.

On July 7, 2006, the Air Force officially named the F-35 as the Lightning II, in honor of the World War II-era Lockheed P-38 Lightning and the Korean War-era English Electric Lightning. Other names previously listed as contenders were Kestrel, Phoenix, Piasa, Black Mamba, and Spitfire II.

Note the first contending name KESTREL like on ac 5.
