F-35 unintentional loop at takeoff on a carrier
This guy clearly has brass and you know the sailors on the flight deck had a cow when they saw this unfold in front of them. Intentional? Hardly!
This is unbelievable!
F-35 unintentional loop at takeoff a real "check your laundry" event.
A supremely well-trained US Navy pilot, ice running in his veins instead of blood, fully regains control of his $70 million, F-35 joint strike force fighter, after a problematic vertical take-off attempt... Watch as the rear vertical thruster fires to cause the problem.
There's nothing about this the pilot enjoys. If he could have ejected at 100' upside down and lived, he would have. Looks like the afterburner kicks in while still vectored for vertical takeoff. Lockheed would call this a "software malfunction" and do a little more "regressive testing". This is a good demonstration of power-to-weight ratio of this aircraft! And talk about stability control... wow!
If he didn't come out of the loop wings-level, it probably would have been bad news; maybe taking some of the carrier with him!
Add to this flying through your own exhaust, which can lead to equipment malfunctions, as in "flame out". The F-35 is single engine aircraft with vertical takeoff/landing capability, but it has the aerodynamics of a Steinway piano at zero airspeed. This is the most unbelievable piece of flying you will ever see in your life.
This guy's coolness saved a 70 million-dollar aircraft! On the other hand, he might not have had time to react to anything except just ride it.
I bet you'll watch it at least 2 times![/size][/#000080]

LOL, no I copied and pasted the message from an Email I received. It's pretty cool how much power and stability these new jets have.

I hate to rain on the parade but it looks fake.
In the video there is a title box above the plane and as it flies into the tower the box follows.
I think it is a clip from a very well done computer game.
Just my two cents.

That is unreal and something I did not think could be photoshop or is it videoshop[:/]. Anyway, I checked it out on Snopes and sure enough, it is fake[mad].

+1, to my knowledge the Navy doesn't have the F-35 and do to the economy it will be a few years before the A.F. gets them. Hill will be one of the first Bases to get them or at least they are slated to.......April Fools is still a week away[:p]
