As a former Navy carrier right seater (A-6E Intruder Bombardier/Navigator), 
I can subscribe to the notion that Navy Pilots are indeed #1. However, 
having seen this video, and with my knowledge of aerodynamics, physics, and 
carrier aviation, I have to conclude that the video is a fake. Anybody 
remember the video a year or two ago of a one wing stunt plane landing 
safely? It was a fake too. Amazing how fakes can be made. The F-35 is 
likely a fabulous airplane, and Navy pilots are well trained, but I assert 
that the video can't be real.
