USMC F-35B Demonstration | MCAS Yuma Airshow 2024

The West Coast F-35B Demo from VMFAT-502 out of MCAS Miramar Flies the amazing F-35B Demo profile with a VMFA-211 Jet. Always love seeing the F-35B Demo as it has become more entertaining to watch over the years i've seen the Bravo fly.

i wonder if the spectators are aware as to how dangerous that harrier maneuver is ? it takes a very well trained aviator to achieve this correctly. if there is any issues with the engine when performing it, things could get catastrophic quickly. UNITED STATES HAS THE BEST PILOTS IN THE WORLD. GOD BLESS OUR COUNTRY.

It was dangerous in the Harrier, not the F-35. The 35 is fully fly by wire, so in a hover the pilot can take their hands and feet off the controls and the plane will maintain that position automatically.

What? Was that actually a sonic boom with that first high speed past after going to the cockpit? Looked to slow to be mach 1, but... unless someone flicked the mic?

It was the explosion pyrotechnics on the ground going off as it went by. Didn’t expect it so I couldn’t catch it.
