The USMC meanwhile continues to press ahead with it’s F-35B program with two USMC going from initial training straight to the new machine.

The USMC AV-8B has been considered only for more experienced/capable pilots after trying to put ‘nuggets’ onto the machine and seeing a sharp rise in accidents.

It would seem that there is confidence that this will not be the case with the F-35.
