Back in the day, the T-2 Buckeye was referred to with affection as the Thunder Guppy.
I watched the take off and immediately thought: Guppy II. F-35B is a funky looking bird, no matter how I slice it. Given that I mostly flew helicopters, which are ugly enough to scare the air out of the way so that we can fly, me calling the F-35B funny looking is a bit rich ... but there you have it.
