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.

Awesome!............

 

Cool!

Did you put that Canadian flag sticker on there?

 

Sweet action

 

Pretty cool. Can't wait to see the show off videos!

 

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?

 

It's for safety reasons.

Pretty cool stuff.

 

Awesome....

 

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.

Just in case. lol It'll fly with the gear up soon.

 

how did you contribute? Posting on f150online during work isnt exactly building a plane.

 

I work nights. That's when I build the jet fighter.
