Great.. I just noticed something. AF-6 does not have the "dorsal fin" antenna on it's back that previous F-35's had. There is also 4 new antenna (two on top in front of the vertical stab and two underneath.
AF-1
AF-6

| At 0.24 in the video there is a shot of an F-35 over the wing of an F-16. Is that a Danish mark (Red circle with white filling) I see? Is the F-35 flying with the M5/M6 program test aircraft? |

| SWP, the white antenna is for the flight sciences jets only. You'll notice that AF-3, BF-4, etc will have a similar config to AF-6. The four "antennas" are not antennas. They are a "safety measure" for peacetime flying. |

I spotted that the other night too ... I looked back through pics and saw it started with AF-3. |
