Photos from Las Vegas Airshow with F/A-22 & F-35 JSF

So it would still be the X-35, right?

I have a few photos from Edwards:

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.

No, wrong. It is not one of the X-35 prototypes. It is a full scale
model of the eventual F-35.

I've seen one of the F-35 mock-ups a few years ago. It looked rather
smart and quite convincing from a distance.

As Ralph and I stated, the photos that you posted are of a full scale mock-up
of the F-35 CTOL, not one of the two X-35 that were built as part of the JSF
competition. Or in the words of Monty Python " It's only a model". While it is
very close to what the F-35 lines are at this time, there have been some changes
from when it was finished; May of this year. There is another full-scale mock-up
that Lockheed Martin Aero has been showing for several years, but this one is
more up to date.

Anyone seen any pictures of the helmet display (hardware and displays)
that is going to be used in place of a more conventional HUD? Is is
related to the HMS that is being added to the F-15 (which has quite a
bit of symbology displayed compared to a simple "point the seeker"
HMS)?

Looks like the same plastic one as at Edwards.
