The below video was just released for the aerospace
community this week. The F-35 and it's complete family lines are a beautiful thing. Many of them are now based out of Luke Air Force Base just outside of Phoenix in the foothills of The Estrella Mountains. Many people report sightings of strange craft when they see the green light strips. They are just flight formation markers. The F-35B variant will be replacing The Marine Corps' and the UK Harriers. It comes with Mach 9 plus capabilities. Sorry for the 1980's glam rock, blame it on the public affairs officer. Hop onboard for a flight in the lighting fast F-22 Raptor over the skies of Miramar in San Diego. |

Indeed Marlin,
Although over budget the F-22 remains for now our most important asset as far as the fighter platform. The payloads are internal allowing for complete stealth performance at all times. The very resourceful team at Lockheed Martin somehow managed to catch a glimpse of the next generation high speed long range bomber that Northrup Grumman is currently playing with. |

Too bad it's all just more pork barrel spending on systems that the military neither wants nor needs.
Meanwhile, millions of citizens go without food, shelter and healthcare. |

Yes Pecan,
Mistakes were made, but we must eat as well guy. I don't eat pork though. I'm Jewish. We do need defence my friend. If you had seen what I've seen amigo; you would agree. |

Thanks, Devious.
I've never liked thinking for myself anyway, you just took a great burden off of my shoulders! I am super glad we have people like you on the vanguard that can see so much clearer than the average citizen. To where should I send the tribute? |

Mr Creek, I don't think I like your tone.

Yes, But the cut of my jib should more than make up for that perceived shortcoming.

Fair enough, at least Marlin thinks I'm awesome, so there's that.
Lockheed Martin has a wonderful production facility where you reside in The Great State of Texas at Ft Worth, there's that too! |

Why certainly, they do have quite the facility, so did Blockbuster.
The difference being, you can't scare the public and congress into beleiving that they will die if video tapes are not allowed to proliferate unchecked. |

That was my little easter egg Imgic.
It's actually closer to 1.3. Lockheed Martin likes to keep Northrup Grumman on their collective toes. |
