F-35-B Carrier Sea Trials
F-35B carrier trials ( G n T )



A VERY INTERESTING VIDEO –


F-35B
It was made just six weeks ago in the Atlantic, just off Newport, Virginia .
These are the latest sea trials of the F-35B on the USS Wasp.
They were very successful, with 74 VLs and STOs in a 3-week period. The aircraft is also stealth, and super-sonic.
The media and the program critics had predicted that we would burn holes in the deck and wash sailors overboard.
Neither of which happened. You will notice a sailor standing on the bow of the ship as the jet rotates.
That was an intentional part of the sea trials.
No catapult...no hook.... It's a new world out there!
The shape and scope of warfare worldwide just changed.

Now if they could just get the thing to work with warm fuel and sort out all the other problems it might be a useful jet should we enter a shooting war with China or Russia.

Otherwise... holycow

Harrier never had those problems. Confused Just wishing we, including you Americans, could afford these.
