Love the planes brother, i am part of the F35 project as a private contractor at lockheed.

It's great when we are down by the fuel barns, lockheed on one side joint strike fighter base on the other side of runway, i see these all day long doing the flight testing on them...loud!! 2 F35s go up with 2 F16 chase planes filming, then strait down the middle of lockheed shooting radar on a mounted F35.
F22s come and go, just about everything....Last year the runway was going down for repairs and B52s were doing touch and goes for training as that runway is one of the longest for quite a ways i hear. Pilots were telling me it takes 42 minutes to get to a base in Florida, they have to fly to the coast before than can go sonic....damn rules!! Then sonic the whole way once they hit the water...very cool stuff.

Thanks Elwood
