Not sure what time... but an F-35 demonstrator will be flying into Eglin AFB tomorrow for a little show and tell, and will stay a few days. I will have my camera with me all day in hopes to get some shots of it flying around. If anyone is in the area of Eglin AFB and has a DOD id card, they can go see it in person.
Will be pretty cool to see one of the 1st F-35s flying around! Ultimately, Eglin will be one of the main pilot training bases for the F-35. So this is just a sample of what is to come!

Well, the arrival was delayed for 2 hours, then a day. Apparently there was a problem with one of the systems when doing the initial startup. So, if all goes well it will be flying in today. And of course I forgot my camera, but can try with the mobile phone. My co-worker almost always has is DSLR with him, so he may get some better shots. Hope to post a shot or 2 sometime this week!

Sounds like a typical modern fighter!

Sounds like any typical aircraft. Time to spare, go by air. More time yet, fly by jet. ;D
