Lockheed Martin F-35B first flight video

I just found video this on the web. This is the conventional first flight of the F-35B. I had my hand in building this one. This particular plane is kind of a big deal.

The vid starts off slow, with a bunch of documentation and explanation about the plane, then the video starts. At the end are some soundbites.

Enjoy.

I didn't watch the speaking at the end so I apologize if this was answered, but why didn't they put the landing gear up?

You should listen to the sound bites as the pilot(British?) told just how easy it was to fly it: "It almost land's itself.", etc.
