F-35s are really cool aircraft. I have a video game where you can fly one but I haven't seen one for real yet. I would also love to see an F-22 raptor too. Those are my number one favorite fighter of this age. Hope to see one soon at any air show event I attend in the near future. I almost had that opportunity at Barksdale back in May but the aircraft was grounded due to some problem they had with one of the jets and so it couldn't make it to the air show at Barksdale. But I have not given up hope yet because I know I will get another opportunity soon. Heck, I wouldn't care if you flew one right over my house here in Killen, Alabama
