At least when the JSF comes out, I can give jet guys some shit for flying an airplane uglier than mine. Small victories.
Is it wrong that I want to help MB trick some poor unsuspecting fool into this arrangement...?
Just as long as you have the dude cross his fingers when he says his vows/signs the paper. Otherwise, that'd just be cruel.
Oh I don't know, I don't think she is the ugly duckling all of you are making her out to be.
Looks like a constipated decepticon to me.

This would be the constipated decepticon...I agree with ryan, the F-35 doesn't look that bad...

That's a nice Slap & Whip Me logo on the side of that X-32.

JSF IP - Now capitalized to put the anal retentive at ease.
So I started wondering about this the other day, and could not find any information anywhere to answer my question. Who will instruct the first generation of f-35 pilots? Are there any pilots (barring test pilots) who can actually fly the thing? A few sites I found said that current F-22 IPs will have a part to play. Any ideas how accurate that is?

There will be a "FIT" (Fleet Introduction Team) just like there is with every other new platform. They will train a cadre of 2nd/3rd tour aircrew who will, in turn, train squadrons who are transitioning at the RAG which will be teaching the JSF.

Its my understanding that said FIT is standing up sometime this year down at Eglin. Supposedly a joint FIT that will begin the process of getting all branches familiar with their respective variants.
I believe I read something about it in Navy Times.
