    F35 Carrier Take-Off Loop

    I just got a e-mail from a friend who discovered a utube video of the F-35 carrier testing. There was a "slight" mishap during a vertical takeoff test with a "stuck" thruster, the plane did a complete loop and the pilot made a complete recovery and flew away like nothing happened! I'm not computer competent enough to post the link, but you can Google utube F35 takeoff loop to find it.

    I think that is a video game. There is a health/ammo bar at the bottom left.

    Yeah, that one has made the rounds once before. It's compelling at first, but it's just a screen capture from a video game called "Battlefield 2."

    I just re-checked the video and your right, it's listed right in among the real carrier testing videos. I'm guessing that there will be some amazing performance capabilities with this aircraft, but the loop on that video isn't going to be one of them!
