I'm in San Diego for a few days, so I have to see the USS Midway Museum. It's also 9/11, and they had a memorial ceremony on-board today. My first time aboard a carrier, and even for a small carrier like the Midway, it is impressively large. The hangar deck had an interesting model of a modern carrier, the USS Gerald Ford I think, complete with some F-18s and F-35s on the deck, about a half dozen each. Oddly enough, all the F-35s were B models. Probably doesn't mean anything, just odd looking.

Either that or (much like Hollywood) the Museum can't get it through their heads that there are three different versions.

How about this: Only the F-35B model was available at the time? Model makers do not always make available all versions.
