How do you distinguish AA-1 from, for example, AF-1?

AA-1 has a single large nose wheel door, while all follow-on F-35s have dual doors which are smaller.

Here is a Profile shot of the AA-1:

And one of AF-1:

Notice how you can see the inside of the AA-1 door (the white part) but not the AF-1?

I guess I could have posted the "Snow Owl (SnoJob)" pic so here goes:

This is Beesley's replacement, Al Norman. What the heck is the LM T-50 program?

The T-50 mentioned is a joint project between LM and Korea and not the Russian prototype. The T stands for Training

I was hoping for an LM-Sukhoi-HAL consortium.

Thanks

I don't know, outlaw, it seems like lots of folks on this forum think we are halfway there, now. I'm referring to the
LM Suks group, of course. Smile

T-50 is in trouble, good news for F-35
