F-35 status (in BMS) request

Hi!
F-35 was never part of BMS database
(I was a huge fan of Airwolf ;))
-
IIRC, it was in the Nortic theater.

Hi, Guys. Dan, you’re right in was in Nordic, and I remember flying it off the Vinson off the east coast of Korea. I also found this:
The point being, the Lightning used to be in BMS, in some form, but of course you’re right, Dee-Jay, that it was never in the “base” BMS.
BTW, yes, Airwolf was a fun show. But, it sicks with me as that it led to a friend “assigning” me that callsign. And as the poet said, the rest is history. -
from what i can gather about raptor tactics from public disclosure mostly Lockheed red flag bragging, the raptor doesn’t shoot BVR, uses decoy radar emissions to get the enemy cold on the nose, than uses a stalking like behavior to get in real close and shoot the gun directly at the canopy. This is how singletons have racked up 16 kill sorties in operational wargames,
Yeah, this technology dates way back to the 1980’s with a little known helicopter called Blue Thunder!

…Marines are not “fighter pilots”…they are Attack pilots. And if you ever address one incorrectly they will VERY quickly correct you.
