Joint Strike Fighter Named Lightning II

My vote was the Phoenix, but this will do:

The first F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, which will be known as the Lightning II, was unveiled at Lockheed-Martin's facility at Fort Worth, Texas, today.
Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. T. Michael Moseley announced the fighter's name, which pays homage to two predecessors.
The P-38 Lightning was a Lockheed fighter that fought in all theaters during World War II. The aircraft had the legs to go long distances, and it was fast. Army Air Forces Maj. Dick Bong, the leading U.S. ace of the war with 40 kills, flew P-38s in the Pacific. Army Air Force Maj. Thomas McGuire, who had 38 kills in the Pacific, also flew Lightnings.
The name also remembers the Lightning jet the British developed in the mid-1950s. The aircraft was the first British aircraft to pass Mach 2, and it remained in the inventory until the late 1980s. Britain has been part of the Joint Strike Fighter program since the beginning.

My fear is, by the time the first JSF enters serive about the middle of the next decade, it may be already obsolete. Our Cold War Era procurement process isn't working.
