F-35B on the USS Wasp
This video link is fresh (for the public). It was made just eight weeks ago (2/14) in the Atlantic, just off Newport News ( Hampton Roads), 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.
