I was looking at the LM photos and was wondering what this thing is on the bottom of the airplane?
Anybody know?
Thanks

An antenna of some sort? I'm sure it's one of those spooky parts that no one likes to talk about.  |

either that, or it could be just an aft facing camera, they mount them on the test birds so that they can video the different tests....lots of ORANGE wires on the test birds....

Nahhhhh.....it's the 3-D holographic image generator! Makes one F-35 look like a whole fleet so as to confuse the enemy's targeteers!  |
