  • Watch how Major Kristin Wolfe throws this F-35A Lightning II around and performs a falling leaf maneuver at 3:15 ( do you call that the falling leaf?) not sure really, but this is probably one of the best displays I'v seen from Wolfe! and the moisture in the air surly did help.
    Little Rock AFB Thunder Over the Rock Air Show, this weekend 2 Oct

    Maj. Wolfe on being a female fighter pilot: “The jet doesn’t discriminate. The jet doesn’t know who is flying it, and it will always behave the exact same way,” Wolfe emphasized. “The fighter community is an extremely performance-focused field that’s based purely on merits and tactics. I don’t consider myself a female pilot, but a pilot that happens to be a female. I’m here to do a job, and that is to make this team the best out there, inspire people to be better, and to fly the F-35 as hard as I can.”

For 12 years in a row I was fortunate enough in the late 60's and early 70's to see the Blue Angels in action at the Abbotsford Airshow. A small town near the Canada/US border in British Columbia. Those pilots at that time were my dads and my hero's. My father passed away 6 years ago and was also my hero. Could be right now that he and your dad are flying in the same formation of angels.

      I was taken by surprise by the very unusual sensation of momentary 'weightlessness' or very mild negative G (similar to the sensation you experience when driving over a humpedback road bridge at speed) when it was my first ride in a glider. It was a winch launch, and once the glider reaches the correct altitude, the pilot (my instructor) dips the nose in order to release the hook attached to the winch cable. It is during this nose dip that I experienced the unusual sensation of a very mild negative G. Very mild, but an unusual sensation nonetheless, and I was not expecting it! I did not feel nauseous, thankfully. Of course, the seasoned and expert glider pilots don't give it a second thought- they're very used to all the movements, G forces, turbulence, etc.

      During upset recovery training in an aerobatic aircraft, for me and many friends, negative Gs were the toughest learning curve for our body.

      "Dear Body,
      No biggie, we're safe.

Occasionally, when driving to work next to the airport (Naval Air Station) there will be an F-35 doing it's thing. If I can, and not be late, I'll pull over, park, and watch this incredible aircraft do what it was born to do. Sometimes I get inside & my co-workers say "I saw you bird-watching outside!"

      Finally someone with actual knowledge.
      The F35 is an overpriced failed pos that is always breaking down and crashing.
      There is a reason we sell these to the world, but the F22 Raptor is STILL banned from being sold to anyone on Earth.
      It eats the F35's lunch and takes its sneakers.
      Other countries jets don't even exist to the F22 Raptor, it kills them before they even know the F22 is in their airspace.
      And in a dog fight nothing can match it.
      Except the secret alien tech we have, which was used to create the F22 and to a less extent the F35.

    Very cool footage of the F-35, and confirms just how nimble they are from my own observations. I'm in VT, and the Vermont Air National Guard has an air wing of F-35's. I was out in the middle of the woods doing some land surveying and kept hearing jet engines repeatedly circling over my head. I looked up and saw some fighter planes practicing the "falling leaf" maneuver over and over. It was so cool, I had my own personal air show. They were high enough where I couldn't positively identify them, but low enough where I could enjoy the show. I wondered if they might have been F-22's because they were flying over National Forest lands (we definitely have fighters from other states that come to train in VT), and I had no idea if the F-35 was capable of those kind of maneuvers...I'd say your footage confirms that yes, they were most likely the F-35's.

Haven't had the fortune of seeing one in action, I doubt they make it up to VT much, if at all...maybe for an air show, but we haven't had one in quite a few years. The F-35's are still relatively new to VT, the Air Guard got them only back in 2019. Over the years I got much more familiar with seeing the F-16's they replaced, so the F-35's capabilities are still a learning experience.
