The X-32 (Boeing's entry into the Joint Strike Fighter competition) can be seen here doing a vertical landing at Naval Air Station Patuxent River. As we all know, Lockheed won the competition with the X-35/F-35, but Boeing's airplane is still very cool, as you can see.

Damn thats one ugly machine.. Also, the losing airplanes (F23, X32 ...) mean nothing. They are just big paperweights and a constant reminder of what could have been.
Beside, F35 looks and performs much better than this eyesore.

nice landing, but F-35 has better performance than X-32
