Why would they do such a thing? 11 hours? ** -- ModerateHokie 04/26/2018 4:59PM Because the flight range goes to 11 ** -- HokieAl 04/26/2018 5:36PM Well, how else do you think USAF fighter aircraft get across the "pond".... -- F4EHokie 04/26/2018 5:19PM @F4EHokie did yall ever do tailswaps? -- typed by ben 04/27/2018 07:20AM Honest question. How bored do you get on a flight like that. ** -- Betabeachbum 04/26/2018 5:30PM Not at all. Going across the "pond" you refuel quite frequently........... -- F4EHokie 04/26/2018 5:48PM Iceland rules. No bad option between there and the Azores ** -- typed by ben 04/27/2018 07:02AM Thanks, That makes sense. ** -- Betabeachbum 04/26/2018 9:15PM Max speed of F35? Close to mach 2? ** -- astrohokie 04/26/2018 5:28PM But they aren’t flying that speed across the pond... -- EDGEMAN 04/26/2018 8:00PM Sorry, the post said it was historic. Was it not? If it was, why? ** -- ModerateHokie 04/26/2018 5:26PM Longest nonstop flight by a F-35, I am sure. ** -- F4EHokie 04/26/2018 5:40PM Ok, so again I ask, why? ** -- ModerateHokie 04/26/2018 8:10PM It's a "we can do it thing" I guess. Never been done before,....... -- F4EHokie 04/26/2018 8:34PM
