I can't wait to see the new movie "Devotion"! I think that will be the first movie about the Chosin Battle?

I think 435 is the 'C' model. The C has a larger wing area and larger control surfaces for better low speed control. Other differences would be harder to tell since they involve the arresting gear, two nose wheels on the C and beefier landing gear.
Thank you Ray! After carefully looking at the pictures again, I added the name under the jets to identify which one is the A and which one is the C. For this particular set, the F-35A's nose has no numbers, the stabilizer has the marking of "HL" (for Hill AFB where they are based?), and the top part behind the cockpit has some markings on it. The Navy's F-35C has 4xx on the nose cone, and VFA125 on the side.
Bill, thank you!
A few more from the sunset show, I need to go to more of these but like Jim said, there aren't many!
I won't have more airshow pictures to post until the Atlantic City show in Aug. The lineup this year for that show is just OK. TB and F-18 Rhino, not much else interesting.
