I'm sure the corrosion control team will fuck it up in short order.

What's with the shoulders on that one in the last pic? Is that the B variant?

I mean the F16, F15 and F22 all rolled right off of the prototype line and achieved full combat readiness in a matter of months... |

There was a thread were Gasbolt suggested that you could just add Canards, a tail hook, beefier landing gear to an F-22 and call it a naval variant. Completely ignoring that you'd have a new airframe, avionics, hydraulics / electrical systems - you know, a brand new aircraft from the ground up. |

Here's an F-22 flying around in the old primer during a contractor check flight. After these initial check flights, the aircraft would move into final finishes to get ready for customer acceptance flights. F-35 will be following a similar format, except for almost an order of magnitude difference in production rate.

Yup, that's the "new" primer.
The F-22 transitioned to that primer some time around 2009, and because of the unfinished primer / finished panel pattern, a lot of people mistook the F-22s on check flights for Sukhois, me included. The first time I saw one in a sat photo, I thought it was a Sukhoi being escorted by an F-16. |
