F-35 Eglin pod on port wing.

Has a travel pod been certified to be carried by the F-35 at all?

This; also as for travel pods, it's been mentioned that there aren't any currently certified for flight, but that there's a decent amount of storage space behind the seat.

Keep an eye out if I see it again, I’ll pop back by

All right at 4:20 a f-35 I believe it was a navy version flew over with something on each wing. I got a good look this time. Long and skinny. Stuck out past the leading and trailing edge

How close to the wing tips were these long and skinny objects?

Mid wing and about 2o minutes later, one seemed to be missing??? Not sure if it was the same jet, I am only using the naked eye. There has been a lot of traffic in the last few days. Been a pleasure watching.

All US A models can carry travel pods. They go on stations 4 and 8 though so definitely not the observed store.

For those of you who don't already know....

Long and skinny... midwing... sticks out past the leading and trailing edge...

Where is this? Down near Eglin?

If I didn't know any better... I wonder if he wasn't seeing some sort of separation testing for the 5000lb GBU-28 on stations 3 & 9.

10 and 2 I think. You have me wanting to pull out my cannon camera to give a better description.

Now THAT will be helpful.

"But 20 minutes later one seemed to be missing" ? If true... they punched one off? I mean, I suppose it's possible in the course of qualifying it they would punch one off and fly assymetrically... but I would think that sort of testing would occur at Edwards?

Wasn't Eglin the birthplace of the GBU-28? And don't they do a lot of weapex @ Eglin?

I dunno. I'm scratching my head at this point. "Long and skinny", extending beyond the leading and trailing edges of the wing... hmmm...

Long and skinny?



Or

That looks about right!
