That is an F-35C that is a pre-production aircraft.
It is CF-01. It did not have a BUNO. It the first developmental test carrier variant F-35C fighter jet that was built. Marine CH-53K lifts a F-35C while refueling from a KC-130 |

Those super stallions or whatever they call them are awesome.... they fly those things into combat and heavy lift right?

I've watched a marine 53 drop a nearly brand new chinook and an apache.
