Royal Navy Cmdr. Nathan Gray, test pilot with the F-35 Integrated Test Force at NAS Patuxent River, Maryland, gives the thumbs up after making the first ever F-35B Lightning II jet vertical landing onboard HMS Queen Elizabeth.
Two F-35B Lightning II fighter jets successfully landed onboard HMS Queen Elizabeth for the first time late September 2018, laying the foundations for the next 50 years of fixed wing aviation in support of the UK’s Carrier Strike Capability.
