F35 Unintended loop during VTO

This is moderately amazing footage. It looks like the afterburner fired while still configured for vertical takeoff. Very cool recovery.

If it's real I'll eat my hat.

I think it is fake. Bottom left and right of the screen, it appears to be a HUD off a game. The white line on the helipad, appears to be flickering (this happens when a graphics card re-renders a scene and the perspective of the lines slightly change) and there is a line above the plane, that rotates with it. I think it might be a name tag or an artifact left over from a graphics card

But it had to be real. My Dad sent it to me.

 

I used to play a lot of BF 1942, Desert Combat and BF2. Great games.

Yup Battlefield 2

 

Such a great game though - I nearly ended up a bachelor after getting addicted to that game....well not really but she wasnt a happy camper!! Something about coming home from work then playing til 3am and going to work at 7am said its not good for my health or something!!

 

Havnt played any FPS games for a long time now.
