Eivät tulleet niin lähelle, että olisin tuosta nähnyt. Ripustimet (ja ehkä Sidewinderit, en saa selvää) siivissä lentävät kyllä.
Edit: F-35 löytyy videolta kohdasta 2:00 eteenpäin.

Oli niin hyvät häiveet, että mä en edes tajunnut missä kohtaa videolla (muka) oli F35. Typhooni siinä pariin otteeseen näkyi ja Mig. Typhoonilla oli kyllä riuskasti ainakin ripustimia siipien alla.

Pahoitteluni, video oli sen verran pitkä, että olisi pitänyt hoksata laittaa timestampin kanssa. Tässä uusi yritys:
Ensin siellä näkyy brittien Typhoon, sitten norjalaisten F-16 ja viimeisenä norjalaisten F-35.
Edit: Ja jos tuo timestampillinen video-upotus ei jostain syystä toimi, niin F-35 -pätkä alkaa kohdasta 2:00.

Meinaatko, että tuohon pyöreän väkkyrän tilalle nousisi joku suojatulppa kun linssi ei ole käytössä?
En ymmärrä tuota kyllä ihan täysin. Samalla logiikalla pitäisi olla näyttämättä hävittäjien kykyjä lentonäytöksissä.

Eivaan se linssi nousisi tuolta pysty asentoon kun on käytössä. Siinä on jonkinlainen sarana.

Mutta kun se linssi ja sarana ovat siinä molemmat näkyvillä myös tuossa asennossa. Ei tuo voi mitenkään olla ainakaan se "ei käytössä"-tila. Ennemmin uskon tuolla foorumilla esitettyä teoriaa, jonka mukaan pyöreä osa pyörii ilmavirrassa ja saa siten aikaan vaihtelevan tutkaheijasteen.

Lentonäytöksissä ei näytetä juuri mitään sellaista kykyä, jolla olisi vihollisen tiedustelulle merkitystä. Ehkä joku jatkuva kaarto (x sekuntia 360°) voisi tällainen olla.

En tosiaan tiedä. Ajattelin, että on vähän tuolla "piilossa" etu ja takasektoriin nähden. Kun tulee käyttöä se nousisi tuosta pystyyn ja antaisi käytännössä 180 asteen heijasteen. Mutta en tosiaan tiedä miten tuo toimii. Tuota mallia ja saranaa vain pohdin tuossa. Sekä siten miten tuosta etusektoriin näkyy kun tuolla todennäkölisesti RAM materiaalin takana suojassa.

Kenraali
Itse oletan, että tuo linssin suojakuori EI ole RAM-materiaalia vaan jotain muuta. Ihan vain siksi, että sen linssin sisäosien on tarkoituskin näkyä tutkassa.
Hyvää pohdintaa kuitenkin.

Kessel Run saanut tuloksia aikaan alle kahdessatoista parsekissa:
Kessel Run brings new software to Vermont ANG aircraft maintainers
11 Mar 2020 Julie M. Shea, 158th Fighter Wing Public Affairs
"SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt. (AFNS) -- Vermont Air National Guard’s 158th Fighter Wing recently partnered with software company, Kessel Run to complete its first test and evaluation of their new software, a suite known as Mad Hatter, at the Vermont ANG Base in South Burlington.
In the course of two weeks, Kessel Run personnel started with zero Mad Hatter users from the Vermont ANG and grew to 78 user accounts at the 158th Maintenance Group. Airmen were able to recover, service and launch aircraft entirely using Mad Hatter applications, resulting in 10 successful sorties flown.
Mad Hatter, part of Air Force Life Cycle Management Center’s Detachment 12, or Kessel Run, is organized under Air Force Materiel Command in partnership with the F-35 Joint Program Office and other entities. They are a government entity and software development organization based in Boston, and are primarily focused on employing new technologies to modernize the Air Force, including innovating F-35A Lightning II maintenance.
“Kessel Run is the Air Force’s first real foray into trying to do software better, smarter, faster with modern technology,” explained Alexander Morris, Kessel Run portfolio owner and Air Force civilian employee. “Inside Kessel Run, we have two branches. One is air ops … We’re under wing ops, which handles aircraft maintenance. Mad Hatter is the product name, it’s our customer-facing name for everything we make. Right now, it’s eight different applications all rolled up together.”
The Kessel Run team arrived in South Burlington in late January to provide user briefings on the functionality of the Mad Hatter suite and to complete onboarding for the first group of users. Throughout their first week in Vermont, they observed F-35 flying operations, gathered and responded to user feedback and resolved issues where needed, further completing onboarding during January’s drill weekend.
On average, members of the 158th MXG were able to create a new account in a single day. Mad Hatter accounts are able to be created by the user, in-house, in a much shorter amount of time, and these Airmen were able to start using the application immediately. Lockheed Martin’s Autonomic Logistics Information System has proven to be a timely process that requires filling out request forms and waiting on approval from a third party in another office, who then creates the account on the requester’s behalf. This often takes weeks or months, reducing the efficiency of onboarding new maintainers.
“Mad Hatter is a program working with Kessel Run and the DoD to create a more user-friendly program for the F-35,” said Tech. Sgt. Leah Curtin, 158th MXG crew chief. “Basically, to make the job easier for not only for the maintainers on the flightline but also for production and being able to schedule maintenance easier, schedule flying and have the program all in one, live and up-to-date so anyone can actually keep tabs on what aircraft is flying, what aircraft is maintenance and a better way to fix the jet in a reasonable amount of time.”
To address those tasks and improve the efficiency between roles, the Mad Hatter suite is currently composed of eight different applications to include fleet management, personnel management, audiovisual (AV) schedule, technical orders, AV configuration, debrief, work orders and aircraft status, all of which work in conjunction with Lockheed Martin’s ALIS.
“We’ve got eight different applications that are designed to take the functionality that is in F-35’s ALIS and modernize it to the point where we save thousands of maintenance man hours per year in duplication of entry, scheduling our folks more effectively to work on the flightline,” Morris said. “Our eight different applications – which we’ve started with and we’ll probably grow into a couple more in the future – are significantly more user-friendly, when they’re hosted in the cloud. They’re going to be adopted by the F-35 Joint Program Office into a massive overarching modernization effort.”
The primary advantage of the Mad Hatter platform is the ability to pull and transfer data between all eight applications and integrate that information into an intelligent display and readout that is consolidated onto a single screen, capable of updating in real-time due to the use of modern software technology.
“Mad Hatter provides several applications … all within one program (that is) very simple to navigate. It’s also very user-friendly in the way everything views, whereas ALIS, you have to go back and forth between windows just to accomplish one objective. Mad Hatter … it’s all right there on one page,” said Senior Airman Liam McKelvey, 158th MXG crew chief.
Used on government computers, the Mad Hatter interface can be accessed sitting at a desk inside an office or transferred outside, such as on the flightline, by using mobile computers with touchscreens. The Wi-Fi connectivity and application integration provide ease of use, while the use of cloud storage provides modern security.
Curtin explained that Mad Hatter has made their jobs easier, as it can be used on the go. She continued that there is excitement that the portability will allow crew chiefs to fill out forms and complete jobs immediately on the flightline, rather than hours later back in the office.
With an emphasis on user experience, the Kessel Run group was focused on developing maintainer-to-software developer relationships during their visit to the 158th FW. During this training, 21 Kessel Run employees visited Vermont at varying times to be able to interact with Airmen. They shadowed maintainers who were using their products for the first time, provided training and tips for use, and gathered feedback on how to improve the software and user experience.
Establishing such relationships allow for coders and designers to have direct contacts for feedback, providing Mad Hatter product teams with a wealth of knowledge from the maintainers in Vermont who provide product and user experience feedback. In return, the Boston-based team is available to provide regular help-desk support on all applications and is quick to understand, respond and meet the needs of the F-35 maintenance community by talking directly to the maintainers using their products.
“Two weeks ago, I was introduced to Mad Hatter and I’m hoping it becomes a thing here and Air Force-wide,” McKelvey said. “So far, the product has been pretty handy, pretty user-friendly and pretty easy to navigate, especially compared to (other products).”

Deployed F-35s Raise Mission-Capable Rates, Help Form New Logistics System
March 9, 2020 | By Brian W. Everstine
Airmen and F-35s deployed to the Middle East from Hill Air Force Base, Utah, increased the jet’s mission-capable rate during combat operations while helping guide the future of the jet’s complex maintenance logistics system.
F-35s from Hill’s 4th Fighter Squadron deployed to Al Dhafra Air Base, United Arab Emirates, for six months last year. The jets almost instantly began conducting airstrikes while 70 percent of the fleet was able to conduct its mission, said Brig. Gen. David Abba, director of the Air Force’s F-35 Integration Office. By the end of the deployment, that rate had climbed to more than 90 percent.
The jets flew 1,300 combat sorties over about 7,300 combat hours, and employed about 150 weapons. All bombs worked as planned without aircrew errors or weapon system malfunctions.
“The numbers are pretty remarkable,” Abba said.
The squadron was able to increase the mission-capable rate with a cadre of inexperienced maintainers. Hill AFB is has more than it needs of the most junior maintainers, so that those Airmen can spread across the operational units as they hone their skills, Abba said.
“They brought a truly representative set of maintainers that finished that deployment over 90 percent,” Abba said at a Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies event in Arlington, Va.
The 4th Fighter Squadron has been replaced in theater by the 34th Fighter Squadron, which “will not be the last” F-35A deployment to the region, Abba said. The 34th’s time in the region came amid heightened tensions surrounding Iran’s attack on Americans at bases in Iraq. In response to these attacks, F-35s “were ready to respond on a moment’s notice, should the order have been given for any additional missions to be executed,” he added.
Other notable missions during the deployment included flying alongside F-15Es and firing more than 40 tons of weapons at an island held by the Islamic State group in the Euphrates River. During another mission, two F-35As flying together sensed an advanced surface-to-air missile in the distance, geolocated it, and took a radar map of it for targetable coordinates, Abba said. While the F-35s didn’t bomb the SAM, the jets offered feedback to intelligence and command-and-control personnel, he said.
On the ground, maintainers working under pressure were able to keep the jets ready for flight, despite known problems with the aircraft’s Autonomic Logistics Information System. New logistics technology, called the Operational Data Integrated Network, will replace this system. ODIN, which is expected to be delivered later this year, is built using government and industry software expertise from groups such as the Air Force’s Kessel Run software coders, Hill’s 309th Software Engineering Group, and Lockheed Martin, among others.
Abba said ODIN is being developed to meet the needs of those using the F-35 in the fight. Maintainers have long complained that ALIS is slow, which can be problematic when deployed overseas.
“What we’re focused on is … minimizing touch points to do things like accelerate combat turn times, so that we can get the aircraft back into the fight faster,” Abba said. “We don’t want the IT system supporting the aircraft to be the long pole in the tent for combat sortie generation timelines.”
That turnaround is not as much of an issue in America’s wars in the Middle East because counterinsurgency operations unfold at a slower pace. In a future fight against a great power, for which the F-35 is designed, the Air Force knows it is going to have to move faster.
“We’re going to need to generate more sorties more rapidly, with quicker turns for the airplanes, and more sorties in a day for the aircraft than we’re seeing in the Central Command area of responsibility right now,” Abba said.
