F-35 Lightning II's Loopy Takeoff

This is how a supremely well-trained US Navy pilot, ice running in his veins instead of blood, fully regains control of his $70 million F-35 Lightning II fighter jet, after a problem-filled vertical take-off attempt.

Watch as the rear vertical thruster fires to save the pilot & aircraft.



The real 'Ice Man' from Top Gun. I would have been screeming like a toked up teenage girl in a Halloween Haunted House.
