I noticed the puffs of white smoke from the engine exhaust as well. It doesn't appear normal, at least not from the other F-35 vertical takeoffs/landings I've seen. Perhaps hydraulic or fluid leak from somewhere in the lift fan system? One of the gearboxes which run from the engine to the lift fan?
