The only thing is that if it was operational and armed up, it was about 180% of the cost estimate given.

The fact that it didn’t become a smoking pile explains why they don’t let just anybody fly them.

That’s the version with the super-secret “no downwash” option!
How did that get out?!?

This is from the video game Battlefield 3. I used to play it and find it funny that people think it’s real

The F-35 is STOVL - Short Take Off/Vertical Landing.
To my knowledge no F-35 has ever executed a vertical take off followed by forward flight (let alone something as phenomenally stupid as an outside loop as seen in this bit of cheap CGI). Vertical take off into a low hover, yes, but no transition.
They didn’t even do it as part of the X-35 program. It was discussed, but considered to be too risky.

I think you’re right. nobody on deck anywhere. zero movement from anything but the jet.

Yep. Battlefield. Video Game. Played more hours of that game franchise than I care to admit.

Oh and that would be the “B” version of the F-35 ...

His commanding officer would be having fits. He would be court martialed for a stunt like that...lol

I bet you'll watch it at least 2 times! You Win!

Don’t even have to watch the video. This has been making the rounds for some time now. It’s from a video game.
