A supremely well-trained computer pilot fully regains control of his $70 million F-35 joint strike force fighter after a problematic vertical take-off attempt. It appears that the afterburner kicked in while still vectored for vertical takeoff. Lockheed would call this a “software malfunction” and do a little more “regressive testing”. This is a good demonstration of power-to-weight ratio of this aircraft! And talk about stability control. This is an unbelievable piece of flying and the pilot deserves a Medal for saving a 70 Million Dollar Aircraft!
