Pip :	(Today, 07:39 AM) This must be some kind of scam, that's the ugliest looking pomegranate I ever saw! and it STILL tastes like screen cleaning fluid.
SeaRider :	(Today, 07:22 AM) Oh, sorry, that must have been my cleaning-the-windscreen-on-icy-mornings pomegranate. My mistake. Try this one instead.
Pip :	(Today, 07:19 AM) Blecchh!!! I've been duped, this one just tastes like screen cleaning fluid
Pip :	(Today, 07:17 AM) Oh boy! I LOVE pomegranates!
SeaRider :	(Today, 07:15 AM) Yep. Of all the words beginning with 'G' you could have picked, it would be exactly the one I was thinking of. Your prize is... a pomegranate!

Which is apparently what they originally wanted to name the F-22...

I depressed myself when I realized I spend more time in X-Plane online forums than I do in-sim.

I think Lightning II is more fitting for the F/A-35 than the F-22. The P-38 filled a role more similar to that of the F/A-35 nowadays than the F-22.

The F/A-35 is probably going to be better remembered by history, like the P-38.

Another gold-plated fighter now adapted to carry bombs.

Actually, it won the 'Joint Strike Fighter' contest. It was designed to carry
bombs from the outset. We should spend our gold on other things like global
warming?

We SHOULD be spending our gold on more Bling. Diamonds bore of child african labor. We need to start getting access to their oil, too. That'd be cool. huh-huh.

F/A-35 is bling. Very complex, very expensive.

So complex and expensive are modern fighters that it takes them 15+ years to go from prototype to full-service entry?! Bah.

No, the F/A-35 A, B, and C versions will be produced for the US Air Force, Navy and Marines, as well as the UK Royal Navy and Air Force. It's gonna replace the A-10, F-16, early F/A-18 version, A-6 (which has already been retired), all Harrier versions (both US and British), and British Toranado fighters.

Technically it maybe the Lighting III, but according to Lockheed it's the Lighting II:
