Good to see the Black Sheep flying with the Magpies.

American F-35's in Australia with the words "Do not cut canopy within three inches of canopy frame" on the canopy. Australian technician: "What's an inch? Wait, don't tell me, I'll call my granddad."

My Favorite USMC Squadron VMFA-214, Semper-Fi.

Are those the $250,000 flight helmets?

Chills, If only Pappy and the Original Black Sheep pilots could see the new generation aircraft bearing VMFA-214.

[@rodzilla355]

Pappy would be amazed and proud

[@dwjr5129]

I can’t imagine the insane engineering in the “B” model, not to mention the other two. Amazing!

[@SCSuperheavy114]

Pappy would be proud!

[@theflyingrealestateagent2828]

Do not think that that F35 is the prettiest aircraft that I’ve ever seen.

[@PedroRodriguez-hy5ty]

It. Doesn't matter how pretty it is , but can it fight

[@KillerKev1961]

I believe it’s pronounced “stroya”.

[@scottstevens2752]

I didn't think the F-35 had any kind of external hardpoints.

[@bramantyoprahoro7284]

No GAU-22 gunpod?

[@seanchang1202]

If the pilots have to wear the $400K helmet in the ready room, then walk the 360 around the aircraft and knock or bounce it on the fuselage. What then? 😅

[@Duchovicius1983]

At some point they will become obsolete. AI and drone era just knocked to the door...

[@zyoungson215]

People have been saying this for the past 20 years.. Before Vietnam they thought missiles killed the dogfight. That didn't age well, they still put guns on aircraft today. Drones will be a factor but there will always be a human somewhere in the loop to make decisions.

[@lukebelvin4900]

Goofy that they make em wear the helmets out to the flight line

You flyboys down under just pay attention. You have the most superior fighter attack aircraft in the world, and It's just getting better by the minute. There is NO fighter aircraft that can beat the F 35. And most of all, there is NO Country that can beat Australia, as long as you have the right Allies!
