F35

See if this plays - this is amazing

Here was the story behind this:
F-35 unintentional loop at takeoff on a carrier

This guy clearly has brass balls and you know the sailors on the flight deck had a cow when they saw this unfold in front of them.

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.

Looks cool. What game is it off of? Flight simulator?

Unbelievable being the key word.

Could not locate which simulator software this was on.
Had a bigger span of time to look into it - no doubt it is false and even the deck is missing some very key ingredients when quickly looked at - besides no roll.

Finally found it on snoops after some digging. It is a good simulator with NO poo coming from the cockpit. No doubt that pilot would have been history as soon as that nose went down at the top. Back to real life.

that looks like BFII, a video game. My son plays it. He can do the same thing when i showed him. It even has the same flatop setup. They wouldn't have all that aircraft on deck if it was a test flight..
