no its not for refuelling in air, if this plane is capable of doing that, it its a hole somewhere on the plane, usually on the top i think? and the hose or whatever goes in it

does this plane have a shimmy damper? it doesn't look like it, but its bolted down.

god i love that word
WTF is a shimmy dampener, i ask cos i am an aircraft technician.
It does 2 things.  1.) It keeps the nose strut from "shimmying" during takeoff, taxi and landing.  2.)  Once the nose strut leaves the ground it positions the nose wheel so it is parallel with the center-line of the aircraft so it does not prevent the nose wheel from being retracted.

Haha watched it today thats possible in real life right? I was gutted it died by a little piece of poo poo falling into its hole though .
i think it's possible...

but then again, it's a movie and mostly computer generated, so who knows?

and i feel your pain, it's lame how it died b/c that box thing fell into it's.... man, i don't want to call it a hole, lol
As cool as it was its not even close to possible.  Sorry to bust your bubble.  To take it a step farther I will really play reality police.  The STOVL F-35 does not even have an internal gun.  If the mission requires one a pod can be mounted under the wing but would never be fired while in a hover.  In the movie it shows the muzzle flash coming from somewhere in the bottom of the engine inlet.  An aircraft designer would never even consider doing this because of the corrosive gasses that would be pulled through the engine.  Not to mention the risk of debris destroying the engine.  Just one more example of the game developers and hollywierd not doing there homework.

And another thing that has caught my attention as being odd. The F35B is not the carrier variant of the jet. The carrier based variant would be the F35C.

Actually it is the proper version.  The carrier in the game is a helicopter carrier.

that would be correct, if the game was based on the navy. dont forget, the USMC uses carriers as well, being basically a section of the navy. the F-35B is the marines variant. so really, it is the correct varaint.

im not sure which one is in the movie (im seeing it today), but both jets do look similar. ive always explained the appearance of the JSF to those who dont know it as an F-22 with only one engine.

Not quite. The F-22 is not as tall as the F-35, but is much larger. The F-22's wingspan and length are more than 10 ft. longer/wider than that of F-35. In all, the F-22 is ten times the plane the F-35.

The F-35B is in the movie. Even in the trailer, you can see a scene where the plane hovers.

F-22 = No hover.
F-35B = Hover.

Therefore, Bruce Willis wins with a tractor trailer.
