    Not a pretty picture!!  I am by far from an expert, but I would have thought there are enough computer nannies operating that aircraft, as to make it highly unlikely to occur???

    I must be watching a different video?  The one at the bottom of the OP link has the plane going off-camera around 10 seconds and goes immediately to the plane in the water....

    Okay, thanks!  I know a local ex-Navy guy, he manages one of the small local Safe Harbor marinas.  He said when they weren't on duty, they would always go and watch the flight deck action!

    Thanks!! I found a "leaked video", in a Twitter post, but it did not show the landing, just the approach?

    I believe the Marine Corps version is the only one with STOVL capability.

    Where did you find a video?  The video on the CNN story linked only showed F35's landing with their cockpit canopy in place; this one was blown when the pilot ejected.
