Above is the vid of the ferry flight of the F-35C to Florida.
The pilot of this airplane said something that caught me short and has me scratching my head..
He said the "plane will provide day one strike...a capability the Navy desperately needs..." It caught me short because there is a parallel development of the X-47 that is also to provide day one strike
Did the pilot misspeak or do we have two programs that are tailored to do the same job?
