Is the F-35 really the X-35? I doubt Nellis has one on hand, so did it
fly in from Edwards? Anyway, it's nice you got too see it in the
daylight rather than in a dark hanger as was the case at Edwards.

It looks like the F-35 mock-up, not the real thing. Way too clean!

Looks odd without a HUD - like a sports plane, not a fighter...(the
X-35s have a HUD, I believe).

It is indeed one of two full scale mock-ups that LM Aero puts on
display, this is the latest one that was first seen at the Paris Air Show
earlier this year. The F-35 does not have a HUD.
