LATEST F-35B Lightning II HD FOOTAGE 2021!

This is some of the finest F-35B Lightning II footage sighted in a while; displaying the skill of pilots as well as the engineering brilliance of this formidable fifth-generation stealth combat aircraft.

Video specifically features U.S. Marines with VMFA-121, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, landing F-35B Lightning II on an expeditionary airfield during exercise 'Castaway 21.1' at Ie Shima, Okinawa, Japan — with pilots demonstrating their ability to take off and land on short runways, allowing for operations in remote, austere environments throughout the Indo-Pacific region.
