Do these airplane cards exist?
Looking for a card showing a good picture of an F-35 Lightning II, or an F-22 Raptor.

Are there any?

If you google 'nslists f-22' and 'nslists f-35' you will find a bunch of links to various sets with checklists on Jeff Allender's site.

Here are a couple:

On Google search, you can also try
lightening site:nslists.com

That site: entry tells google only to search nslists.com (or any site you choose).

You probably saw those F-22 cards for sale on another e-site. One of those images might be large enough depending on what you want it for if you're not looking to buy.

I had been aware of how to search Allender's site (as well as TCDB and other listing sites). Allender lists 2 F-22 cards, and no F-35s.

As far as I can tell, there are no mainstream F-35 cards in print. Having lived through the early 1990s, when cards were produced on every subject imaginable and in quantities that would fill a municipal landfill, this is mind-boggling.

The problem is actually getting the card. I have addresses for the two pilots who first flew these aircraft, and would like to send the cards to them to get autographed. I'm not interested in spending $5 to get a card that is worth a buck, tops.

There's a 2014 Allen & Ginter F-22 on ebay right now. It'll be a little over $2 if I get it, which I probably will. But no F-35s to be seen.

By coincidence I just stumbled across this article. You might be interested, if you haven't read it already.

Got an F-22 card, and got it signed. Still looking for a good F-35 card.
