Isn’t the F-35 supposed to be rated for very high vertical rates upon landing? The gear in this event doesn’t seem to “give” very much.
If he was testing high vertical rates on touchdown the results appear to have been suboptimal.
Mind you the video quality is not great on my Ipad.
Glad the pilot ejected safely.
His friends will probably be sending gag gifts of underwear for Christmas.
