Grim Reaper / Navy F-35C

The most recent Air Force vs Navy NCAA Football game featured a flyover by four F-35 Lightning II fighter jets. While it appears that all were from Eglin AFB, two of them carried the "NJ" tail code making them Navy jets from the VFA-101. Additionally, these air craft carrier based F-35C planes are painted with the "Grim Reaper" moniker.
