A slow-motion video featuring an F-35B Lightning II fighter launching from the flight deck aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Wasp (LHD 1), Philippine Sea, Jan. 28, 2019. Naval aviators with the F-35B detachment with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 262 (Reinforced) conduct take-off and landings during fixed-wing flight operations in the Marine Corps’ newest, most advanced multi-role fighter, the F-35B.
