It was probably taking part in an air show.

Faringdon is again on the "other side of the world" train.
Yes, it could be a power supply, but if we are wildly speculating, it can be a pilot just got drunk and had no idea what is going on. Is not wild speculations fun? And they also let you push the agenda you like. Two for one deal.
wasyoungonce:
well its clearly lost thrust for what ever reason looks like the pilot tried to stop.......it didn't. The F35 is pretty reliable in the air...there have not been many lost so far, considering its in operation all over the world....more than 700 operating so far.
dietert1:
Looks pretty ridiculous.
Don't jets going to lift off from a carrier start in some kind of trap so the pilot can power the engine up to "full" thrust before release of the trap? How do they check the F35 turbofan needed during short track lift-off? The F35 price certainly justifies check procedures by the buyer. Or is there something like a consumer warranty?
