View Full Version : F-35 Lightning II
No Name
December 16th 06, 06:57 PM
Hello Group,
I am a novice at newsgroup posting.  I have used my SBnews photo capture 
program for sometime now for this groups photos. I just wanted to say Thank 
You for the excellent pix.
I got a few shots of the first flight of the production version of the F-35 
Lightning II yesterday near Lockheed-FW yesterday.  Thought I'd post them.. 
I got takeoff photos about 12:45pm, but couldn't get close enough , 
stationed near the south end of the runway.  The airplane was already very 
high when it passed over.  Then they announced that the flight would be only 
35 minutes, so I raced 15 miles back around to the north end for the south 
bound approach.  As I stepped from the truck the planes came over the trees 
just behind me . I almost didn't get them.    Again, Thanks to the group.
BTW, I guess I need to find the rules for posting?
