MigBuster 2,884 Posted May 9, 2016 Look at the AOA on the F-35. Wonder why it can't turn? There's your answer. All the evidence so far suggests it has no issues turning. Because all the photos are fairly consistent you might be able to rule out it was adjusting attitude as the photo was shot..........however what most of the "Internet experts" wont understand is that if the F-35 took off with 18,000lbs of fuel it would be very relatively heavy compared to a clean F-16 (~ 7000lbs fuel at take off ) and so could explain the attitude also.
