Whilst it is good to see that F35s will be flying to the UK this year, I do wonder what sort of display they will be allowed to undertake, considering that only the USMC planes have achieved IOC, that is assuming that the two planes coming over are from that squadron.

The "displays" that have been conducted in the US so far have been quite pedestrian as I understand it, basically just flying in and out of the destination.

Displaying with a "test load" software might bring up some interesting liability questions.
