Did they tell us why the canopy was open?
It's supposed to be 30% or so louder than the AV-8B. "They say" it actually exceeds safety standards even with double hearing protection.
I think that's the door to the lift fan. The canopy hinge is towards the nose of the aircraft.
That nozzle is moving around a lot, pretty gucci fly-by-wire.
Wish this was in HD. I may be wrong but it looks like if he had to punch late in the flight it might not have ended well for him?
Is it me or does that look like a lot of rotation on STO? It looks like the that thing is going to tail strike everytime. Pretty awesome!
Hopefuly the big brains at Lockheed and Pax River have thought that through. On an other question, Will the B launch and recover covetionaly on a runway?
