Here you have it, folks. A shot of yesterday's first flight for the fifth and final F-35B short take-off and vertical landing Joint Strike Fighter test jet at Lockheed's F-35 production facility in Fort Worth, TX.

The jet will be leaving for NAS Patuxent River in Maryland where it will join four other F-35Bs in flight testing later this year, according to Lockheed. Once there, it will be part of the effort to get the F-35B test program back on track in the next two years.
