4 Italian F-35As are in the US as part of the International Training School and the rest are in Italy.

Hah, that'd be great! Or maybe in Frecce Tricolori livery. Of course it would be impossible to set aside 10%+ of the F-35 fleet so it'll never get done, but one can dream.

The F-35 looks bad a$$ from certain angles, stub like in others. I will say this though: Pictures of it's underside is a real study in how "tight" these stealth tolerances are..
