While chatting with the Lockheed dude by the F-35 mockup I was informed that the first flight would be December 11 and that it would coincide with a ceremony for signing documents ...
No plane on Sunday, maybe be one come Monday...

Engine run-up scheduled for Thursday afternoon 12/07, if that goes well low speed taxi tests will follow late Thursday afternoon. Barring unforeseen problems first flight should be sometime next week.
