Where was the F-35?

[El Supremo]

I thought it was supposed to be part of the flyover. Is it grounded again? Would flying it have broken the budget for even this expensive event?

The F-35 Finally Met Its Nemesis: Weather

"Due to weather in Amberley the F-35A will now depart the Avalon Airshow on Monday, 6 March rather than Sunday, 5 March as previously scheduled," a statement by the RAAF issued on Sunday afternoon reads."It is well documented that the F-35A aircraft requires modifications for lightning protection and these modifications have not yet been completed on the two visiting Australian aircraft. As safety is Air Force's priority, the aircraft will not fly in conditions where lightning is present. Prior to return to Australia, the Australian F-35A will be modified with lightning protection."

Yes, friends. Our new state of the art, $100 million-per-unit fighter aircraft finds it difficult to fly…in thunderstorms.
