Look, it's the F-35C:
140828-N-ZZ999-001 MOJAVE DESERT, Calif. (Aug. 28, 2014) A U.S. Navy F/A-18F Super Hornet assigned to the Dust Devils of Air Test and Evaluation Squadron (VX) 31 at Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake, Calif., conducts an interoperability test event with a Navy F-35C Lightning II joint strike fighter aircraft over the Edwards Air Force Base test range with the Mojave Desert below. The two aircraft engaged in a series of electronic exchanges to ensure that communications and sensor information could be passed effectively between platforms. The F-35C is the Navy's variant of the joint strike fighter, designed to operate at sea on aircraft carriers and is scheduled for initial deployment in 2019.

Great HQ photo of a Prowler headed to the catapult. I'm not sure why QA allowed that horrible looking patch on the fuel probe.

Oh, soooo close.
Is that the standard color for the F-35 or just the mfg's, looks good compared to the F-18
I believe the color is the result of the stealth coating, so that's the way all "fleet ready" F-35s should look.

One last picture to keep the Alaska theme going. That's one butt ugly paint scheme.
Reminds me of mint& chocolate ice cream.
Maybe the Hornet guy was scared.
I meant the recce...or lack thereof.
