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. Unintentional?
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...
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 deserves a Medal for saving a 70 Million Dollar Aircraft!!!!!!!!!!
You'll watch it at least 2 times!!!!!!!

A-FREAKING-MAZING!!!

oh please no... please say that you know that this is fake. Just to quick prove it, in the lower right hand corner of the screen you can see the ammo hud for a weapon. And at 15-16 sec you can see the players name being displayed under the jet. Oh btw the game is Battlefield 2, and the F-35B is still in the testing phase and not on any Wasp class carriers (thats what was displayed in the game).

LMAO didn't take long for someone to see the Heads Up Display. WTG!
I didn't see the players name & still don't actually, but I saw the icon in the lower right & thought it might have been a battery meter. But the move is too smooth, way too much pixalation in the rest of the video as well.

And Navy pilots don't fly those. Only Marines.

Gamers posting has almost cured me of watching aviation videos on youtube.
Seriously.. there the real stuff, there's the fake stuff.
Anyone with some skill can do the fake.
I see a day when they're segregating them and anyone posting a sim in a live thread will be banned.
