Yes, I know I have already covered the F-35 in #PlanePorn, but this week it will be a specific version, the F-35B. The B version is the Marines' variant that can takeoff and land vertically with the help of the engine nozzle and a lift fan. On Friday 7/31/2015, the F-35B was granted Initial operating capability (IOC) which means theoretically it can be sent to fight a war at moment's notice. This is the moment the F-35 has desperately needed to show the doubters that the plane is here to stay and perform its job flawlessly. The doubters will remain until the plane has its first sortie in a wartime environment, but until then let's congratulate the F-35B on its past, present, and future success in the world of 5th gen fighters!
