Marine Corps F-35Bs make short takeoffs and vertical landings aboard the USS America on 28 October 2016. You can almost feel the strong jet wash in the opening takeoff as the videographer jockeys to maintain his footing. Here's what the Navy says about the video: "PACIFIC OCEAN (Oct. 28, 2016) An F-35B Lightning II lands on the flight deck of the amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6). Later, F-35Bs take off from the flight deck. The F-35B short takeoff/vertical landing (STOVL) variant is the world's first supersonic STOVL stealth aircraft. America, with Marine Operational Test and Evaluation Squadron 1 (VMX-1), Marine Attack Fighter Squadron 211 (VMFA-211) and Air Test and Evaluation Squadron 23 (VX-23) embarked, are underway conducting operational testing and the third phase of developmental testing for the F-35B Lightning II aircraft, respectively. The tests will evaluate the full spectrum of joint strike fighter measures of suitability and effectiveness in an at-sea environment. (U.S. Navy video by Seaman Joshua Samoluk/Released)" Have you subscribed to the Airailimages Channel on YouTube? Thanks! Added this video to a YouTube playlist? Thanks!
