Pretty sure some are grounded for now with the latest crash. Might want to verify before making a plan.

That issue was with F-35Bs, the VTANG (& the whole AF) flies F-35As

Well yes but many A's are being grounded as well. The issue if you read the article does not seem to be depending on the model designator.

My bad, read the first couple paragraphs and assumed it was a VTOL issue based on the described events.

Ya I don't know which from the article it's a bit confusing just wanted OP to check before making a multi hr plan. I am on the other side of the state so I have no idea if they are flying or not. I am one of those hate the govt and all war machines types but still I am a lil kid inside and love to see them fly. Wish they would fly over the NEK more often. They would get less complaints too.
