FAR148 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 To solve US Navy‘s Super Hornet/tanker problem, Lockheed Martin offered a new purpose-built F-35 to fill the role of carrier-based tanker. The new F-35s are dubbed E’s and doesn’t have weapon bays nor have the targeting sensor below the nose. Along with stealthy metallic paint was not applied. In January of 2022, the first batch of E’s reached the Fleet. Each F-35 squadron was assigned 4 aircraft. My F-35E represents one from VFA-31 “Tomcatters” while onboard the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln, callsign “Douche Nozzle One-One”.

But I took the opportunity to play with a weathered Naval scheme. 23 minutes ago, Cubs2jets said: Typical of the US military. That's one EXPENSIVE gas passer! LOL !! Nice work. C2j Yeah, I feel this idea is more a "When-If" then a "What-if" Thanks again guys, Steven Quote Link to post Share on other sites
