At sea -- The Navy and Marine Corps Team made more remarkable naval aviation history as the F-35B Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) test aircraft BF-2 landed safely on USS Wasp's (LHD-1) flight deck, the first at sea vertical landing for the Marine Corps' F-35 JSF version

scared me....I thought it was that video from a game that showed the F35 doing a takeoff and flip all the while claiming it was real....but it was from a video game......

this is really cool....love watching ship trials of various aircraft....

Nope this is the real deal! I see if I can find the 1st landing of a V-22 on the USS Wasp!
