Lockheed-Martin F-35C Carries Sidewinders

Lock-Mart seems to have backed away from the chest-pounding press releases that characterized the last couple of years, so information on F-35 test progress requires a bit more digging.  The link below is to a short piece that just shows the plane carrying the air-to-air ordnance.  The picture does do a great job of highlighting the significant increase in C-model wingspan as compared to its sisters.  That wing fold where the ailerons meet the flaps is going to be needed!
