Here's an interesting weekend project.. a guy has built his own F-35 fighter jet (kinda). Sure, it is a scaled version and it doesn't come with a demonic helmet, but you can actually drive the thing like a car and the level of detail is absolutely amazing. Also on the plane front, there's an electronic warfare variant of the Super Hornet now. Now finishing its testing phase as it gets ready to enter action next (year), the EA-18G will replace the current and aging EA-6B Prowler.
