NEVER SEEN BEFORE YOU WON’T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED F-35 PURE SKILL & AIRMANSHIP • RAF LAKENHEATH

Ladies, gents and teddy bears we hope you enjoyed this video. It seems that although we believed the video to be a pilot making a wing wave on a low approach, many of you are suggesting it’s a kind of aircraft wing stall recovery. As a channel we are not pilots or experts in any way but if the latter conclusion is true, then thank you to all those that explained that. Both conclusions wing wave or not, we’ve never seen anything like it. :_TCS::_look::_beret::_send::_f35::_topted::_usaf::_ted:

That's a stall roll off. The tendency of an aircraft to roll in one direction post-stall, and it's actually a very dangerous event at such low altitude. Many aircraft have this characteristic though the behavior is benign-to-nonexistent in airplanes with high aspect ratio wings. However airplanes with very low aspect wings like the F-35 can exhibit a stall roll off that is very sudden and dramatic like what you saw here. I can almost assure you this was unintended. The F-35's FBW system saved him here.

That F-35 was pushed outside it's parameters, and the Flight Safety Computers correctly took action to prevent the Aircraft from Stalling. It's not a brilliant pilot, it's a brilliant Flight Safety Computer. I was at RAF Marham, when the Tornado was a new Aircraft. It had a SPILS system, to prevent stalling under extreme manoeuvres. When the Pilot exceeded the capability of the Tornado, you could see the SPILS system take back control. Exactly like this F-35. Forget the Pilot, it's the Aircraft that's the Star.

I question that was an action of the pilot! I suggest it was the aircraft self recovering from what was a high speed stall?

I’ve watched it several times now And I concur The flight system saved the plane and the pilot from a low level departure/ stall

Brilliant! Where else would you see and hear this combo? An F-35 wing wave especially for Ted, plus low approach & howl accompanied by an ice cream van jingle! 🤣. USAFE amidst the vital importance of your service, you bring awe, surprise and great joy to Ted Coningsby Squadron & that's thousands of people. Thank you ❤:_usaf::_f35::_f35::_ted2:

What a thrill it must be to fly those beauties !

Agree with those posters that pointed out how sketchy that second aircraft was, the pilot did not have the energy to make that climbing turn like that.

Sign of power! Show of force! 🇺🇲🇬🇧💪

Incredible aircraft and incredible crew. Thank you 48TH FW 🫡❤️🇺🇸 The TCS love it :_ted::_usaf::_f15e::_f35:

Wonderful again from Lakenheath, even an ice cream backing track...What next! :_usaf::_f15::_ted2:

Beautiful!! Amazing skills!!!:_usaf::_look:

Interesting... Did he deliberately push it close to departure from controlled flight so that the Flight Control System corrected - twice?

Exceptional piloting skill from the 48th FW and TCS... and was that Wing Wave intentional Excellent :_f35::_f35::_f35::_f35::_f35::_ted::_ted::_ted3::_ted3::_RAF::_RAF:

A proper wobble

To all the service personnel thanks for keeping us all safe 🙏 👍 and for putting your personnel safely on the line for our freedom we all take for granted. Great job and a great channel ted.❤

The way that the F35 pilot pulled up then banked his aircraft so quickly demonstrates the skills that they have learned. Nicely captured for us, thank you Nikos.:_ted::_ted3::_f35::_f35::_usaf::_topted::_look:

awesome

Brilliant 😊

You never mess with the best 💀💀👍👍
