First-ever dual in-flight refueling of a pair of F-35C fighters
For the first time, a pair of F-35C Joint Strike Fighters have simultaneously refueled from a KC-130 tanker aircraft. The aircraft's afterburners burn an enormous amount of fuel, so an important part of most missions will be refueling before or after combat, or both. This is why the successful dual refueling is an important benchmark for the JSF family. (www.gizmag.com) 更多...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I think that's the first good news about the F-35C program I've heard since, well, EVER!
I don't know how I feel about the F-35, from what I've heard, it hasn't been going well.
I haven't been following the F-35 development. But if the the last two paragraphs are accurate, it doesn't sound very good.
What a fantastic waste of funds. Next time you find yourself whining about Obama spending money, think about this gem for a minute.
