Strangely not all were masked. Some were smudged out and others were clearly shown, so I have no idea as to the criteria used for masking airframe ID.
As an outsider with some knowledge of the system looking in at this process and having a son who is on the inside looking out ( almost at F-35 training) we as a family thoroughly enjoy this insight into what he does. The trainee pilots come across very well and on the whole it is as good as you will get from a program that has to strike the right balance with the viewers.
I take my hat off to all involved, the instructors, the support teams but especially the young trainees who are dedicating vast amounts of time and effort into achieving their aims. 7-9 years quoted from start to F-35 and the threat of getting chopped hanging over them at almost every turn; Now that is dedication.
Looking forward to episode 3.
