Country:  | I can believe it. It was full of working parts. I can only imagine the work that went into the variable wings.
She to me though is still my favorite modern jet and will go down in history as one of the greatest.

Friday, June 17, 2005 - Representatives of the nine nations partnering on the Lockheed Martin Joint Strike Fighter program took part in a unique ceremony at the Paris Air Show - assembling a scale model of the next-generation F-35 to demonstrate team solidarity.
"This is a symbolic exercise, but it reinforces the reality that the F-35 is truly an international project with unprecedented worldwide industrial and political reach," said Tom Burbage, Lockheed Martin executive vice president and general manager of F-35 JSF program integration. "As easy as it was to assemble this model, the real thing back in Fort Worth also is going together with similar ease. It’s compelling evidence that the digital thread connecting our design directly to our manufacturing processes is performing as advertised to keep this program affordable."
Delegates from the United Kingdom, Italy, the Netherlands, Turkey, Canada, Australia, Denmark, Norway and the United States took turns adding sections of the 1/10th-scale model until it was completed. Each section displays the flag of one partner country.
"The completed F-35 model comprises nine sections fused into a single entity – a perfect analogy of the unity displayed by the JSF partner countries on which the success of this program depends," Burbage said. "The JSF program already is showing its potential to strengthen allied ties while helping to galvanize the economies of each partner nation."

Country: | I am not sure on that Lanc.
I actually did think the JSF was canceled though. I know the Comanche was and I think the F-22 may go on the cutting block.

Country: | Okay I think that is what I read then. I got the F-35 confused with the F-22.

I think delivery will allow operations to start in 2012 for the Marines and the following year for the Air Force and Navy. It wouldn't surprise me if the Brittish version matched the Marine as that version matches up with verticle take off etc. The first pre-production aircraft will fly next year.
This data is the most current per June 2005 Air Force Magazine. Also neither this year or next years budget for the F-35 will be touched.
Eventuly the F-35 will replace the Hornet.

The Lanc is correct too, the carriers and the F-35 have been adjusted to "Fit" together.
