F-35 Crash, New Video

I am not commenting upon what other damage may have been done to the airframe and systems not he f-35 . Rather I was referring to the fact that just the ejection isn't necessary enough to mean it can't be repaired.

And again, that needs to be determined. More than likely, yes but until engineers inspect the aircraft and determine if it's cost effective to fix, it's still a guess. See post 23, he's on the front line.

Looking at it again, it looks strange because the F-35 seems to bounce on landing. If it was a sort of commissioning test, maybe it wasnt even supposed to land and stop, but to touch down and take off again.

It looks like the descent was speeding up just before touch-down.

It's had to say what as going on or what the pilot's intensions were. In the hover, the F-35 is extremely stable under normal circumstances and that landing was a bit rough. Again, there was smoke emitting from the tail and the exhaust nozzle was pointing down
