From other coverage of the sea trials, of possible interest to those looking forward to operating the FifthGenerationTM wonderjet...
An interesting factoid, one of the USMC test pilots mentioned this little tidbit—they have to use a modified Rutowski profile in order to get the F-35B and C up to Mach 1.6. Basically, you do one push over, unload the jet and accelerate, get up to 1.2, turn and repeat until you hit 1.4 Mach, turn and repeat till you hit Mach 1.6. It just barely gets there and barely has any gas left over afterwards. The kinematics are basically F/A-18C-like, though that was apparently exactly what was expected.

That's probably a bit of a libel on the Classic Hornet, especially with the -402 engine. The F-35A will be about the same, with the exception of having a bit more gas left at Mach 1.6.
