Here is the link to the SCS Series

In 2016, the most advanced aircraft was adopted by the USAF, USN, and USMC. This aircraft would change the way that air combat was envisioned with a focus on stealth and the long range BVR fight. This marvel of technology is the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II. Affectionately nicknamed the "Panther", the F-35 would come in 3 main variants: the F-35A (USAF & CTOL), the F-35B (USMC & STVOL), and the F-35C (USN & Carrier Ops). F-35B is a Jack-of-all-trades fighter, and has the ability to detect, lock, and fire before any other aircraft can see it. The F-35 possesses the capability to commit Post Stall Maneuvers (PSM). It's maneuverability is comparable to the F/A-18E or F-22A. The "Panther" is a formidable foe in a close quarters dogfight. The F-35 has the most sophisticated sensor equipment. Some of the electronics include: the Active Electronically Scanned Arrays (AESA) radar, Distributed Aperture System (DAS), Electro Optical Targeting System (EOTS) and Helmet Mounted Display System (HMD).
