Here's some cool video of the first flight of the F-35C with a U.S. Navy test pilot at the controls. The flight happened last Friday, with Lt Cmdr. Eric “Magic” Buus at the controls out of Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Md. While the Marines' B model isn't exactly doing well, the Navy's C and the Air Force's A-models are doing much better. We'll see what's happening with the F-35 program budget-wise later today.
