F-35 Unintended loop right off the carrier deck during vertical take-off

This is of unknown provenance, and whether it's true or fabricated, it's a hell of a ride. From the email I was sent: If the pilot could have ejected at 100' upside down and lived, he would have. Looks like the afterburner kicked in while the plane is still prepared for vertical takeoff. Lockheed would call this a "software malfunction" . Great demo of power-to-weight ratio of this aircraft! and very good stability control. If he didn't come out of the loop with the wings-level, probably would have been bad news, maybe taking some of the carrier with him! ...unpowered and zero airspeed this airplane has aerodynamics of a grand piano. This is the most unbelievable piece of flying you will ever see in your life. This is how a supremely well-trained Navy pilot fully regains control of his $70 million fighter jet, after a disastrous vertical take-off attempt. And we worry about ground loops......I would not have landed with dry shorts..

lol That would be amazing if it happened in real life

Haha people thinking this was animated, even more funny people saying this maneuver was an accident.
-
thumbs up if you came here by accident thinking it was a real f35 vid!
-
This is animated, but I'v seen the real footage of the test flight where this did happen. The thruster was pitched the wrong direction, but corrected very quickly. Epic save!

Why not just say animation crap n save our time??
-
Most certainly s clip from a video game. Cool video, though.

@LuwigChannel And if you tell people that you've made or purchased F-5 or F-14 aircraft but don't actually have any in your fleet, that's called a lie.
