I saw that a couple days ago. Pretty cool. That picture was taken in Boston Harbor, I believe. The JFK is up in the northeast for fleet week in NYC. :D
 
It's not the Navy version, look at the landing gear it's not heavy enough for a Navy jet...maybe the USAF version?
 
Yeah cause you can see that detail...

DOesn't matter, it's on there for Fleet Week for public affairs.
 
It was a full-scale mock-up - so many people turned up to see the carrier that they closed down public tours very early in the day - real bummer.

The line got so long that on Saturday at 2pm they told people come back Sunday. I went Sunday morning and only made it through half the line (2 hours) when I had to leave, I had a game. Go Boston :(
 
Best part is they have the Mockup roped off from the public, but your kids can walk up and dick around with the F/A-18C parked forward of the Island.
 
i stared at that picture for awhile looking for the F-35 at the base of the island, but all i could find was a Helo with a pretty large piece of FOD sitting just in front it ...

Yeah, I was gonna say that it looks a little fake to me - "For display purposes only"

I don't think that they put the real F-35 on static display anywhere. I was at Aviation Nation '04 and they had an "F-35" there. Once again just a mock-up w/ a mock-up of the F136
