All I can say is thank God for my Black Belt in Google-Fu Wink

What did you want me to add to your graphic?

Thanks for the great F-35C arriving at Pax River photo BTW. Any thing you wish to do to the graphic to show where the two vertical landing pads are would be fine. No need for any arrows because you have made that. Many thanks. I'll have to commandeer the satellite to take an overhead today! Very Happy

Here is the PAx Layout to the best of my meager graphic editing ability Wink

1. Ski Jump ramp and direction
2. Hover Pit
3. VL Pad One with concrete surround
4. VL Pad Two with circular asphalt surround

Great stuff, many thanks SWP.

I wonder if the three VLs were on the same spot? Anyway an interesting bit of info. One gathers that there was no other 'bring back' load. Nice to see that at least there is a possibility of three VL approaches at the max VL landing weight and below. No details so only guesswork other than:
