Nice, but that F-35 would belong to the Corps, its the -B (VTOL) variant. The A is the Airforce which is conventional takeoff and the Navy is getting the C, or STOL version.

Dont listen to all of those whiney clowns.

That video is very good. Everything is timed right. I was impressed by the SR71 and YB70 shots too.

As an ex-airforce electronics repair tech I salute you and thank you for your time, efforts, and decication. It means a lot.

Yes, The ANG is part of the USAF reserve force made of the ANG and the Air force reserve. The main difference is the the governor of a state can active "his" guard units in times of need (ie nature disasters, civil unrest) This goes for both the Army and Air National Guard. Examples would be the Army NG was activated for the Katrina hurricane before the president activated the reserve units. The California and Nevada Air Guard has been activated for C-130 Air Tanker use for major fires
