Norwegian F35

Recommended Posts

Having just read the KEY publication on the F35 Lightning,  I was intrigued by what appears to be a rather un stealthy retractable housing for the drag schute. I haven't come across any other images of this yet and thought it a bit extreme and probably expensive.  Also, how wil the Danish roundle distinguish itself from the RAF one?

The drag chute housing will not be a permanent installation, it will just be installed when necessary when operating from short and icy runways. Probably not much more un-stealthy than carrying external weapons and fuel tanks...

 

It will be interesting to see how the Danish national insignia will appear, though.
