If you look close enough you can see the x-35 jsf near the tower. I have never seen one on a carrier yet which caught my eye. Dont forget to magnify the picture.

I saw that a couple days ago. Pretty cool. That picture was taken in Boston Harbor, I believe. The JFK is up in the northeast for fleet week in NYC.

It's called the island, not the tower.

It's not the Navy version, look at the landing gear it's not heavy enough for a Navy jet...maybe the USAF version?

Yeah cause you can see that detail...

DOesn't matter, it's on there for Fleet Week for public affairs.

It was a full-scale mock-up - so many people turned up to see the carrier that they closed down public tours very early in the day - real bummer.

The line got so long that on Saturday at 2pm they told people come back Sunday. I went Sunday morning and only made it through half the line (2 hours) when I had to leave, I had a game. Go Boston

Best part is they have the Mockup roped off from the public, but your kids can walk up and dick around with the F/A-18C parked forward of the Island.

i stared at that picture for awhile looking for the F-35 at the base of the island, but all i could find was a Helo with a pretty large piece of FOD sitting just in front it ...

Yeah, I was gonna say that it looks a little fake to me - "For display purposes only"

I don't think that they put the real F-35 on static display anywhere. I was at Aviation Nation '04 and they had an "F-35" there. Once again just a mock-up w/ a mock-up of the F136
