F-35 High Angle of Attack Testing

  1. You know, the _one_ thing that gets me from the F35 is that, as different as it is from other planes, there's no "school" version. You have to learn to do all those nifty things on your own. No two seat variant.

    And you can't ride tourist :( [not that I actually had any chance]

    Take care.

  2. Well they took it to max AoA (50 degrees) by the fourth flight. http://www.lockheedmartin.com/us/news/press-releases/2012/november/121119ae_f-35_achieves_angle_of_attack.html

    Can hardly wait for the dire warnings surrounding whatever they've found so far.
