It was Mark Twain who said:

May I draw your attention to this conversation on the other F35 thread last April.

Interesting pics ~ keep them coming when you get them.

Is the tether location the same as the arrestor hook? If so, it seems a long way back in view of the steerable nozzle.

Yes that is the arrestor hook painted white tethered to the adaptor in natural metal! It is a short hook!

Very short. It will be interesting to see the approach angle for carrier landings.

Maybe Lockheed should consider taking on XP and myself as consultants. :))
