Hope you didn't take me too seriously... but given the thread drift, have messed around with my dad's BSA both without seat belts or a helmet!
If a pilot managed to get an F35 down on a strip without an operating engine today, there is no way it would be returned to base on its own wheels. A crane and low loader would be brought in... or a Chinook. Sitting on the wing on the trip just wouldn't be permitted after a hazard assessment, no matter how slow the low loader may be moving.
Anyway, loved those photos shared by Clinton.
