F-35 readies to ferry...

F-35A AF-3 comes in for a landing after its eighth flight on 9 December 2010 with Lockheed Martin test pilot Bill Gigliotti at the controls. The aircraft is the first fully low-observable compliant F-35. The 2.5-hour flight at NAS Fort Worth JRB was an endurance flight in preparation for a ferry flight from Fort Worth to Edwards AFB, California.
