Godt flygeren kom seg ut. Det er mye leamikk i denne maskinen, akkurat som det var i gamle, gode Harrier i sin tid. Men da var det ikke 1000 millioner som gikk i drinken, men det må trenes. Norge har A-versjonen av typen, uten skyvekraft som kan endres retningen på for at flyet skal lande vertikalt. Her en oversikt over de tre typene F-35 med prisen per maskin nederst i mill. US$:

LONDON
– A British F-35B combat jet based on the new Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS
Queen Elizabeth has crashed into the eastern Mediterranean Sea, the Ministry of
Defence confirmed Nov. 17.
The
pilot ejected and has been picked up and returned safely to the carrier.
The
F-35B short-take-off, vertical-landing jet was one of eight British aircraft
deployed on the Queen Elizabeth as it returned from a deployment in the Far
East. The aircraft is one of 24 so far delivered to the British. The British
are ordering 48 jets so far but have pledged to purchase 138, although that
number is likely to be cut.
Ten
US Marine F-35B’s are also deployed on the carrier.
The
MoD said the crash occurred at 10:00 GMT during a routine operation from the
carrier. No other aircraft were involved.
