How about "Wraith"
Blue Skies
Pat Carpenter

I don't like "Wraith" or "Blue Skies" but I'm all for naming the F-35 "Pat
Carpenter"...

Never thought of that but sounds good to me!

Since Raptor means " Bird of prey" i think the F-35 should go along
the same lines, and since the F-35 is designed to replace the F-16
also, i would call it the Kestrel wich is in the falcon family. what
sucks is that the V-22 is called the osprey, which is also a bird of
prey. that would be a good name for the VTOL version of the F-35,
since it is primarily going to the marines and friendly navies.

Kestrel was the name of the original version of Harrier.

The original Hawker VTOL was the P.1127. The Kestrel was the next
development, used by the Tri-partite evaluation squadron
(UK/US/Germany). The Harrier was developed out of that aircraft.
