F-35s over Washington: an excellent message to friend and foe (Washington Examiner)
President Trump was right on Wednesday to order an F-35B strike fighter overflight of Washington, D.C. The display was a gesture to visiting Polish President Andrzej Duda. Poland intends to buy a number of F-35s.

It also allows the Marine Corps to use Amphibious Assault Ships as de facto aircraft carriers. [Read More]
