I ’ve seen tons of publicity shot of Lockheed Martin ’s F-35 Lightning fighter aircraft , one of the most controversial US military aircraft ever , but this picture left me dumb .
This F-35B Lightning II — captured during aerial refueling — totally wait like a ballistic capsule from a scifi movie . The near - utter face - to - face view , the vortices behind the wingtips , the gradient gray of the nose ; all make this photo just about perfect .
The original caption says :
A naval aviator with Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron 501 flies above North Carolina during airy refueling training with Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 252 , April 14 , 2015 . The nearly 33,000 pound aircraft is capable of short burlesque / perpendicular landing place , turn on the Marine Corps to lucubrate its expeditionary force sound projection capabilities .
