Lockheed F-35s finish at-sea test flights as U.S. Navy warms to new jet

U.S. Navy Rear Admiral John Haley, commander of Naval Air Force Atlantic, said developmental testing of the F-35C, the carrier variant of the new stealthy fighter jet, had been "pretty doggone good" compared with earlier aircraft.

The camera filming the initial slow motion FIRST ARREST aboard USS Eisenhower remains steady so that allows ZOOMing.

A bunch of goodly photos by AP 09 Oct 2015 : http://www.readingeagle.com/ap/article/ ... nias-coast

NOTE the checklists:

The previous odd landing / arrest does not look so bad when zoomed at three quarter speed but YOUSE BE THE JUDGE!

Also a wide variation of file size/video quality F-35C downloads for free here: https://www.dvidshub.net/tags/video/f35c
