Me thinks a display copy will be set up at the Korean War Memorial with a placard that says the US F-35 was based of this design.

I was thinking the same, Flyingsword.
Think it’s because it looks very much like the F22…except all the kit (missiles, extended fuel tanks and so forth) is on the outside.

All the stuff on the outside is there to allow nork radar/missile sites to knock ’em down…
