Secret Two-Seat Variant Uses Additional Crewmember to Counter Anti-F-35 Social Media Posts.

Israel has unveiled their previously classified F-35F Nebekh Joint Social Media Fighter (JSMF). The new rear seat position in the two-seat F-35F Nebekh is occupied by the SMO or Social Media Officer. The modification is in response to threats to the F-35 in the social media space. Gen Hadir Uffani of the IDF told reporters, “The F-35’s primary threats exist in the social media space, so we have made a special variant of the Joint Strike Fighter to counter this threat in real-time.”

There has been a downside to the program however. When the new AN/APG-345 SMMS (Social Media Monitoring System) was updated to the Block VII sensor fusion status, the aircraft began to monitor Tinder users. In an accidental case of collateral social media posting, a number of French Rafales started hitting on the F-35 for one night stands, apparently in adoration of the aircraft’s low-observable lines.

However one must note the date.

I knew it was fake just because an LM engineers assigned to designing a notional 2 seater described it to me once.

Chubby stubby.

The backseater is always a teen well versed in twitter and facebook skills.

So what was so different (side-by-side seating)?

Sweetness.

Ughh, that makes Monica look good ! Lol

[vilters]

The backseater should be facing backwards to get conform with the F-35 "all around" situational awareness.

Did everyone notice the F for Facebook tail markings?

Nice touch

This is a very old joke.
Remember "DF-01" with it's twin pilots?

Even then, I would say that the markings are wrong! It should be "AF-01" (instead of DF-01) because:

"April's Fool - 01" (or "AF-01")

"April's Fool - 01" (or "AF-01")

Also known as the aircraft's actual T/V name...

Yup, another reason why AF-01 should have stayed, LoL
