Video: Kick The Tires And Light The Fires! F-35C Makes First Night Flight

The carrier based variant of the Lockheed Martin F-35 is the C model... it's got the bigger wing, larger control surfaces, stronger landing gear and a hook, among other differences. One thing in common with the A and B models, which are much farther ahead in the flight test program, is the ability to use the Pratt & Whitney F135 turbofan to turn kerosene into a massive roman candle! Wow that afterburner looks hot!
This video is a nice compliment to the one I posted the other day of the first F-35A night refueling excercise. The airplane looks very nice in the night sky... and I'm really beginning to love the way it looks in the day sky too! A few more rock music videos like this from Lockheed Martin featuring the F-35 and even the haters are gonna have to let up a little. As for me, I'm liking me some Lightning II : )
Oh, and yeah I know... the F-35 really only has the one 'fire'.
