I live 20 miles from Luke AFB. Luke is the largest training base in the world so other countries send their pilots here for training.
They are flying the F-35 in twos over my community. I get to see and absolutely HEAR them fly by often.
I recently had the opportunity to video one. Usually they are too fast to catch on video. But I was successful!

@SusanEllen66 I worked in the plant where F-35s are assembled (the building is a mile long). Every day on my way to & from my workplace, I'd walk between jets in Final Assembly.
I would often see F-16s and F-35s being "test driven"; a very impressive sight. And as for the noise ... as they say, that's the sound of freedom.
