"F-35A Lightning IIs assigned to the 134th Fighter Squadron, Vermont Air National Guard, sit on the flight line after a day of flying training mission at Northern Lightning 2020, Volk Field, Wis., Aug. 11, 2020. Elements of the 158th Fighter Wing deployed to the annual exercise that gives the wing and aircraft training in deploying and conducting combat missions in a joint environment, including F-22 Raptors, F/A-18 Super Hornets and F-16 Fighting Falcons that flew with them in the nearly month-long exercise.

Good times when the dutch came to the canyon. Sad that it's over.

What? Is that an F-35 taildrager?

What is a 'taildrager'?

Sorry. My Assie is a bit rusty. A tail dragger is a Wallaby, right? The 35 in that shot looks like a Wallaby, mate.

Hahah. Ozzie slang can be mind bending - changing all the time and from region to region. I never heard about a wallaby or kangaroo being called a tail dragger but I guess they do. A BIG RED KANGAROO will stand on HIS tail and BOX YA whilst tearing your guts out with his pointy nailed hind legs/feet. YAHOO SERIOUSLY MATE. :mrgreen:

Then there's the DROP BEARS! :shock:

That K-roo fighting technique sounds a lot like 55 degrees AOA and tear your guts out with a couple of HOBS -9X and 182 rounds of 25mm, doesn't it?
