F-35C First Integrated Carrier Ops Aboard USS Lincoln

My youngest 19 year old graduated Parris Island in November. He is a USMC Avionics tech and he is assigned to the F-35. I am so proud of him!

It's what really impresses me about this operation is that they have sense of fusion F-35 and F-18 have connectivity and they able to select targets and coordinate attacks against targets while they're all together these are different aircraft diffusion of the integrated ground-attack command-and-control, are their defense, has been coordinated from different aircraft this is fantastic

The flight deck is one of the most dangerous, deadly, and well-orchestrated ballet of controlled chaos in the Nav. These Sailors were taking their sweet, leisurely time practicing launching aircraft - IRL and during war or war-game ops the pace is sped up to 100. I was a Marine on the USS Wasp amphib assault ship and we'd launch Harriers 5 at a time back to back. Five AV8-B's would line up on the flight deck at the same time, one after the other - the lead Harrier's thrust would be used by the Harrier behind it as extra headwind - so on and so forth. One Harrier would reach the one-third to half-way point of the flight deck markings and then the next would start to taxi at full thrust. We'd put 5 birds in the air within 30 - 45 seconds. Practice makes perfect. Controlled chaos....

It’s pretty cool that the “teen” series fighters are some of the best in the world still to this day. F-15, F-16 and F/A-18 variants are still more than a match for most Russian and Chinese planes. They’re catching up tho, so I’m glad the U.S. has the F-22, F-35 and the upcoming NGAD. It would be cool to see 3-4 new designs over the next 10 years that stay way out in front for over 50 years like many of the teen series fighters have. With regular upgrades, of course

I really love the Aircraft Carriers of the United States Navy like the USS Abraham Lincoln and the flight deck operations on the ships!

I am on the clock here in Melrose Park Illinois USA watching this video...... amazing

That’s an awesome display of power and technology. 👍

F-18 takeoffs are so wild to watch. Pay attention to the pilots stick hand; they hold a handle at the top of the canopy after their salute and during the cat launch because the F-18 gets especially trimmed out for takeoff and this prevents unwanted pilot reaction.

Our UK carriers operate slightly differently but it is amazing to watch the skills of these people operating aircraft in what must be very trying conditions and keeping it safe.

이렇게 짧은 거리에서 이착륙이 가능하다니 놀라운 기술에 감탄하지 않을수 없습니다.

Thank you so much my brothers and sisters that fly in the air they keep us safe I salute all of y'all

You can hear how powerful the difference of the thrust of one engine compared to two the F-35 is a thoroughbred

Nobody: YouTube: Wanna see a F-35 taking off from a carrier? Me: Yeah why not?

I worked for Lockheed. So proud of the f22 and f35

Just some absolutely badass planes to watch launch !!! God bless the people help get them getting in the air and those flying them also every person on that carrier everyone has an important job on that ship

What astonished the photographer ... thankyou

So many American carriers every day I find a new one in service.

Just wow! Those incredibly beautiful machines taking off like that! Elevators okay, ailerons okay, then let's GO!! And they're off! Blue skies to all! We are so proud of you!

Got to see the Lincoln on it's maiden voyage, I was on the USS Midway CV-41 and we were taking part in Operation Fiery Vigil evacuating Clark Air Base in the PI. Over 18,000 military and civilian personnel evacuated.

Awesome Video! Before the Lincoln left Everett Wa. I was able to see it from my bedroom window when I lived on the 3rd floor at Colby Ave and Pacific Ave…I worked at the Port of Everett back then…2002-2004 such a sight when I walked by the Naval Station Everett! I could also hear the Sea Lions that were on the rocks in the cove there!
