First F-35 landing on flight deck of USS WASP (6 HQ Photos and Video)

It does work............so far, anyway.
There is some chatter and scuttlebutt on whether this will ever enter service. But I will not add any conjecture here. It is simply a cool thing to watch. I saw three of the first Harriers land aboard USS Guadalcanal at Pier 12, NAVSTA Norfolk, Virginia in the spring of 1974. The Harrier had development issues as well.



The rest is at the link. Go and enjoy!
