Lockheed Martin test pilot Bill Gigliotti flew F-35B BF-15 (US Navy Bureau Number 168311) on its inaugural flight on 13 July 2012 from NAS Fort Worth JRB, Texas. The aircraft will be assigned to VMFAT-501 at Eglin AFB, Florida.

Very Happy

yup, propane gas - go BOOM... Randomly go off around airfield, they rotate to shot in different directions. Pretty much every morning at PAX.
