Nick Fury can take one out with an RPG!
I'm sure every terrorist in the world is stocking up on them now....

That's assuming the F-35 EODAS doesn't locate the badguys first and get out of the way, or go for a gun-kill.
Are they even planning to use the F-35B to engage targets while vertical hover? |

Time Magazine running a hit piece on a large military program????
Shocking. Just shocking. I normally stop by there to see the magazine fanboys gushing all over themselves to get a glimpse of the latest hardware and hand pantomiming their favorite air combat scenarios. |

Why was Fury attacking the USMC? |

| It was a SHIELD not USMC F-35C. There were Harriers on the flight deck in one shot. F-35Bs were inside it. The one he shot was taking off with a nuke. Go see the Avengers. FUN MOVIE. |

| It wasn't even an accurate depiction of the F-35 in said movie. Didn't anyone notice how there was a boundary layer diverter space between the inlet cowl and the fuselage (like F-22) and said inlets had a lozenge/caret design a la F-22? Obviously every bit as fictitious as those X-35 planes depicted in those RAAF Air Force Evolution posters some guy posted a month or so back. |

| They probably didn't want to pay Lockmart for the accurate depiction of their product. |
