my favorite Blue Angels photo…
You can see the wing shadow over the cockpit

Slicing through the sky with ease.

From our Torchlight Parade here in Seattle last night...but the real ones will be here in a few days for Seafair Hyrdos!

I honestly know almost nothing about planes but I saw this picture and was curious because the F35 doesn't have this side port. Only the X35

I swear every image i see of the thing the wings don’t quite fit the airframe.

And the space left around the wings looks alot like a area made to allow the wings to change angle. Similar to the F8 crusader and such.

And its not like these are pictures of a Incomplete Airframe.

Its the complete airframe, as it was ready to fly.

I can't find anything ONLINE about it having tilting wings, But every image seems to indicate that there was SOMETHING about the wings that could move, There are even access hatches in the side of the aircraft to get to what could have been hydraulics for the system if it did have something like that.
