How to land an F-35 fighter plane
The UK has been handed its first Joint Strike Fighter jet, also known as the
F-35, for use by the RAF and Royal Navy.
Although the aircraft is not intended for use until 2018, British pilots have already been test-flying the new fighter - codenamed the Lightning II - at Patuxent River Naval base in Maryland.
The BBC's defence correspondent Jonathan Beale spoke to one of the pilots involved in the programme, Peter Wilson of BAE Systems.

Joint Strike Fighter: High-tech deadly eye in the sky
"Whatever happens in Las Vegas, stays in Las Vegas". Not true!
The BBC has been given exclusive access to film the world's most advanced
fighter jet - the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, built by Lockheed Martin for the US
and UK military.
Britain had planned to buy around 150 aircraft for the RAF and Royal Navy - but with each plane costing at least £70m that number is likely to fall.
Although it looks like most other modern jet fighters, what makes the F-35 stand out is its software and intelligence-gathering capabilities.
Dr Jon Waldrop of Lockheed Martin told Jonathan Beale about the electronics that make such a difference to the JSF.
