And then you go to your first squadron from what's called a replacement air group.

It takes about two and a half, three years in the pipeline to go on your first cruise.

It's kind of amazing.

Admiral Massa, we would be off in the San Diego Op area many weekends, right, when they were training those pilots to come out and do carrier landings?

The C model differs from other F-35 variants with its larger wings, increased fuel capacity, added ailerons, and enhanced landing gear, giving it the unique ability to launch and recover from the aircraft carrier at sea.

Ladies and gentlemen, you are watching now the F-35C reposition for the minimum radius turn.

As you're watching this, you will see that he was pressed in his seat.

That's 7.5 times the force of gravity.

To put that in perspective, during this maneuver, Bam's body weight will feel close to 1,500 pounds.

During an aerial dogfight, the F-35C can execute extremely tight turns, giving the ability to rapidly reposition its nose and gain an advantage over the adversary.

To now demonstrate the agility of the F-35C, Lieutenant Underdown will approach for the tactical pitch.

The F-35 will now set up for the high-speed pass.

Pulling 6Gs back toward show line, he will then approach show center at 300 feet and .95 Mach.

You may notice the white vapor coming off the aircraft, indicating it is approaching the speed of sound at nearly 750 miles per hour.

The ability to ingress at low altitudes and high speeds enables pilots to avoid detection and preserve the element of surprise.

Captain Morgan, 7Gs, if you weigh 1,500 pounds, how do you even function in the cockpit?

Well, they have G suits on.

And the design of the seats is actually really good.

you're leaning back a lot more than you used to.

So to pull four Gs in like a T-34 is hard, but it's, to pull seven leaning backwards with a G suit on, it's gonna be, it's gonna feel like you had no G suit sitting in a 34 at about four Gs.
