That picture of the F-35B in the first article for the F-35 is just down right scary!

Yes - any picture of the F-35B hovering is what I was commenting on.

I know they recently retired the F-117, but one has to ask why paint it in camo? I thought those things flew exclusively at night in theater since they would be easy pickings for another fighter with guns if caught out in broad daylight.

Probably a YF-117 with one of the paint jobs they tried. The "Have Blue" was smaller and the vertical stabilizers were canted inward instead of outward.
