Joint Strike Fighter: A Progress Report

In this Defense Department video, test engineers talk about the progress they made in 2012 testing the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter at Patuxent River, Maryland and other locations. Although the talk gets a little jargon-y at times (BF-01 is the first airplane produced of the "B" - vertical takeoff - variety), and the narrator occasionally sounds as though he's boasting for an airshow crowd, it's a good overview of the test program. (05:29)

Hi,thanks very much for this magnificent video,i have to admit that this fighter is a masterpiece &should congralute the engoneers who have designed,manufactured &test &fly this beutiful fire bird.once more thanks for this nice &useful video.regards

I was seen this video and noticed that in the night takes we don't see the green right at the right and red light at the left (I think their are navigation lights), the F-22 does not have this lights?

With all the external stores, WHAT HAPPENS TO STEALTH CHARACTERISTICS? Isn't Stealth a major requirement? Or, is it only mission pertinent?

I can't view this. I'm using Firefox 19.0. What am i missing?

Editors' Note: Can you try another browser? Also, you can check to make sure that you have the most updated version of Flash? (Just suggestions, as the video works on our end.) Sorry you're having trouble seeing this!

Fantastic video and a fantastic Aircraft!!!.
