F-35 Makes Its First STOVL Carrier Landing
Saw an article and video of the F-35B's first vertical landing on a carrier today and am pretty excited that it's going to be making it's way into the fleet one day. This comes on the heels of an announcement that the F-35 is no longer grounded and cleared to fly again after experiencing electrical problems. A special thanks to my buddy Doug on this one.
If you're not familiar with the new STOVL (Short Take-Off Vertical Landing) capabilites in the F-35B, the video below explains it.
"Let's get one thing straight. There's a big difference between a pilot and an aviator. One is a technician; the other is an artist in love with flight." - E. Jeppesen
