Even More Lightning

Since the last one was about the Lightning, I thought I would do this post about the Lighting 2. The F-35 Lightning 2 to be precise. Don't worry this is the last post about lightning :) As with last time, first some facts and then pictures.


Manufacturer: Led by Lockheed Martin, others include Northrop Grumman and BAE systems

Max. Speed: 2065 km/h

Range: 1,110 km (varies between versions)

Armament:1 25 mm cannon and
Internal: 4 missiles or 2 bombs and 2 missiles
External: 6 missiles or 4 bombs and 2 missiles






























































































Although you may not be able to tell, the F-35 is hovering in this picture. This particular version has a huge lift fan in the center and the rear nozzle swivels downwards and together this allows it to hover.

um well I didn't get that all out of my head. Most of that stuff I didn't know, I had to look it up.

I'm sorry if I took that the wrong way at first but it seemed to me that you were implying that I knew all that, which I certainly do not!

Oh well, at least you took the time to look it up, and that's smart too....being smart doesn't necessarily mean you know everything, but that you're willing and eager to learn :)
