Diggin' the dark gray paint job on that bird. Looks kinda menacing.
Great find, very cool watching it fly.
Looks like the house finally aligned with Gates/WH and voted to kill funding for the second engine-

Proposed Budget and acquistion changes
Proposed Budget cuts 65 35B's, 2 35C's and adds 41 Supers, etc...
I wonder how far this version of the budget will get?

So what does we replace our aging Harries and Hornets with? Cutting another 65... That's 3 or 4 squadrons worth of airplanes...
It doesn't necessarily mean those 65 won't ever be purchased. They cut the orders to the minimum to keep the line rolling while they extended the development time. It will be several more years before the first new ones arrive now, though. Will they wind up getting the full number of F-35's and will they all be F-35B's? Probably not.
Pretty, pretty!
110211-O-XX000-001 NAVAL AIR STATION PATUXENT RIVER, Md. (Feb. 11, 2011) The U.S. Navy variant of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, the F-35C, conducts a test flight over the Chesapeake Bay. Lt. Cmdr. Eric "Magic" Buus flew the F-35C for two hours, checking instruments that will measure structural loads on the airframe during flight maneuvers. The F-35C is distinct from the F-35A and F-35B variants with larger wing surfaces and reinforced landing gear for greater control when operating in the demanding carrier take-off and landing environment.

If 'Magic' really is his callsign, shame on his first squadron for such weak sauce. Come on...'Short'? 'Bang'?
Unless it got pc-ed up for public consumption.
