    A naval flight deck crew member wearing a blue jersey and helmet marked 'V301' observes an F-35B fighter jet performing a short takeoff or vertical landing maneuver from what appears to be an amphibious assault ship or aircraft carrier. The aircraft is airborne just off the ship's bow with visible exhaust/heat distortion below it, suggesting STOVL (Short Take-Off and Vertical Landing) operations. The scene takes place over open ocean under clear blue skies.

    ATLANTIC OCEAN (May 26, 2015) Aviation Week’s reporter Amy Butler records her first F-35B Lightning II landing aboard USS Wasp (LHD 1), during an F-35B Media day. Wasp, with VMFA-121 and VMFAT-501 embarked, is underway conducting the first phase of operational testing for the F-35B Lightning II aircraft, which will evaluate the full spectrum of F-35B measures of suitability and effectiveness in an at-sea environment.
