Two F-35A Lightning II joint strike fighters were delivered to Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., with 33rd Fighter Wing-piloted F-16 Fighting Falcons escorting the jets to their new home Aug. 31, 2011. Labeled as AF-10 and AF-11 by Lockheed Martin, the JSFs bring the total count of the fifth-generation fighter aircraft at Eglin AFB to four. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Joely Santiago)
9/4/2011 1:35:45 PM ET 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
