The next-generation Marine fighter jet F-35B was tested recently aboard the Norfolk-based amphibious assault ship Wasp. The jet conducted 19 nighttime take-offs and landings -- demonstrating its remarkable ability to slow to a hover and drop with precision onto the flight deck of an amphibious ship in the middle of a dark ocean.
