Here you have it; video of the first ever catapult launch of an F-35C carrier variant Joint Strike Fighter. The JSF's inaugural cat shot happened yesterday at the Navy's air engineering center at Lakehurst ,N.J.
From appearances, the shot went off without a hitch. This is one more small step toward getting the jet to the fleet.
