James, I have just received this from a friend in the USA and thought the group members may be interested in it. Please remove if you believe it to be unsuitable. This video link is fresh (for the public). It was made just six weeks ago in the Atlantic, just off Newport, Virginia . These are the latest sea trials of the F-35B on the USS Wasp. They were very successful, with 74 VLs and STOs in a 3-week period. The aircraft is also stealth, and super-sonic. The media and the program critics had predicted that we would burn holes in the deck and wash sailors overboard. Neither of which happened. You will notice a sailor standing on the bow of the ship as the jet rotates. That was an intentional part of the sea trials. No catapult...no hook.... Its a new world out there! The shape and scope of warfare worldwide just changed. Click here: youtube/watch_popup?v=Ki86x1WKPmE&feature=colike
