Royal Air Force Lockheed-Martin F-35B Lightning II ZM147 on STOL finals to RAF Marham after the first Trans-Atlantic RAF deliveries

and some £GBP93m (USD$130m) each, It'll be interesting to see how they slot into operational use and how often the paying public get to see them up close and personal
However, whilst they may use stealth technology, when in STOL or VTOL mode - ear defenders are a must!
