UK F-35 Jets operate from HMS Queen Elizabeth in the North Sea 

Compared to the Harrier, which was best described as performing a “controlled crash” on landing, the F-35 is so stable and easy to land, pilots can apparently perform landings hands-free. The technology is incredible. Love the RAF from across the pond! And LOVE the new carriers!

She's an awesome ship. Respect for the Royal Navy from the United States

Great to see F-35 performs as advertised. The jet gives navies the opportunity to have fully battle ready jet even without a CATOBAR system.

I have flown the A version demonstrator at Lockheed in 2008. I saw the potential in the aircraft then. Even Lockheed was unsure if the technology would mature in time before it needed to be in the hands of our warfighters. We pushed hard in every area and here we are today. It’s not perfect, but we are getting to a point of reliability that is on par with the legacy airframes we are retiring.

respect the Royal Navy from Japan

Congrats UK.. Salute from India..

Love to see that our Royal Navy is finally starting to restore it's naval might with the new carriers. The F-35's on the deck look amazing 🇬🇧🇬🇧

Imagine the amount of Tea powder stored in that Aircarft Carrier. :3

Look at how few people are required on deck to operate compared to a catapult system. Amazing.

US & UK: Strongest alliance and militaries in the West. I’ve worked with some Royal Navy guys and y’all are awesome🇺🇸🇬🇧

I hope and pray that this beautiful ship and her planes will not be subject to some future spending review (cuts).

As an American I think its awesome to see the Royal Navy increase its power at sea.

Beautiful F-35Bs & HMS Queen Elizabeth!

Congrats 🇬🇧 from 🇦🇺 and 🇳🇿

As an American let me say I'm proud to see these 2 new carriers of the UK. And I'm proud to have my roots and heritage with Great Britain. I'm also proud of the English Speaking Peoples of the world. Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Wales, England, Scotland, and America. We have always stuck together when the chips were down (except for Ireland who wouldn't lend a hand when we were fighting for our lives in WW2. Don't care much for her). May your two new carriers live long and proud.

Great to see what the Royal Navy is doing. Privileged to be able to see from Australia.

It warms the heart to see the Royal Navy back into carrier aviation.

In worrying times like this for our country, watching these lads strut their stuff makes me feel proud of our country again! God bless our armed forces!

Credit to the pilots and deck crew, very professional and highly skilled. Good work, one and all. 🇬🇧👍

She’s a beaut. She’ll outclass anything in the sky, short of an F-22 Raptor.

Nice job, England! As an American I am truly grateful that we have such a good ally.

As an American, I’m excited for the UK 🇬🇧

Great to see our British allies with their new carriers and F-35's!

Wow, It's Awesome to See a Fighter Jet Still in the air like a Chipper.. Just Great

Amazing !!

About time Britain get that ship in Shape and Show your Pride...............From USA!!!

So glad to see our two great nations sharing technology!

Congratulations to the United Kingdom.Salutes from Lisbon,Portugal.

That flight deck looks huge, puts American carriers into perspective.

Beautiful n formitable carrier, congrulations UK fr USA

Well done RAF Airmen of 617 squadron and RN sailors onboard HMS Queen Elizabeth. 👍🏻🇬🇧👍🏻🇬🇧

I like to see the Union Jack on the inside of the upper air intake on one plane, very nice !

It’s all coming together rather nicely!! 🇬🇧

God bless the UK armed forces and all the other forces protecting the free world. Love from India!

The British Harrier didn’t have like five or six open hatches to allow for VTOL ! It simply rotated the exhaust outlets, what genius. But of course, the Harrier does not have reheat or the speed of an F-35.

Some would say these are space ships,flying saucers but we know they are Flying ships of freedom ! 🇺🇸🇬🇧

And again an almost perfect day in the North Sea let's see that in November

I love Royal Navy from India🧡🇮🇳🙏🏾

Omg I love it. Love from Singapore 🇸🇬

Nice too see us getting our Aircraft carrier.. its been a while ...maybe we will see it chugging up and down the channel for a while...!!!

Glad we're allies!

Outstanding aircraft. Looks mean

Hurrah, a great site to see, bring on the carriers, long time missing, now their back. Yes!.

The UK provided the Harrier. We took it in the USMC for decades. Hopefully the UK got a price cut on the F-35.

That can't be the north sea, the sky is blue and the water isn't brown!

I'm American. I'm proud of this effort!!

Long live INDIA, JAI HIND VANDEMATARAM 🇮🇳💖🇮🇳❤️🇮🇳💗💓💞💕❣️🧡💛💚💙💜🇮🇳

Such a wonderful sight.

Very good ☺️ Go ahead a lot like this ❤️

When we go up the ramp all us plane drivers go “weeeeeeeeeeeeee” Cause now we just press the TAKE OFF button it gives us loads more time to do all the stuff not involved in doing the actual plane driving part. One guy actually crashed his plane when he forgot to press the “TAKE OFF” button. Too busy counting down an giggling going weeeeee off the ramp an he forgot to drive the plane. He lived and now is the boss for all the plane drivers.

GOD BLESS THE ROYAL NAVY

Looks like sci fi! Well done Royal Navy proud of you

Such slow takeoffs and stability while hovering over sharp changes in elevation (from sea to carrier) is impressive.

Nice

هاي الطاءرة يمكن راحت على العراق حظنة مصخم كلمة تفتر علينة

F-35 STOVL is Best of the best jet cleaner)) carrier’s runway - cleanest place in the world.

Got to give BZ to the civvies in the white overalls. They are seriously at the sharp end and getting stuck in! So sad one died of cancer after Westlant 18. Lovely lass. RIP

The Brits our real US allied and brothers

Very good 😃

Seeing these F35s taking off from the QE carrier brings back memories of the Sea Harriers taking off from the Ark Royal on their way to pound Argentinian targets during the Falklands war.

The Russians " hahaha we can easily see you giant aircraft carrier" Royal Navy...." Ah but can you see the aircraft?" 🤔😏

Now we need to build more surface ships, 6 destroyers and 13 frigates just aren't enough

Long ago, there was separation from the crown, warfare and the founding of a new country. It's really wonderful to see Americans and British jointly working together years later for a common defense and for the good of both nations, militaries and peoples.

“They hung in the air, exactly the way that bricks don’t.”

Super SUPER Thank You Brother.

I'm Indian but proud American navy

The Union flag should be standard on all the air intakes like on the first one. Beautiful.

After seeing this who remembered GTA San Andreas plane......😜😜😜

Such a lovely summers day in the North Sea. Wait until November

Bloody proud of these brave Woman and Men ....proud to have served .......

is it only me or F 35s looks like sharks from sideview

Amazing job Royal Navy! Keep rehearsing. Don't call us, we'll call you. Signed, The United States :-P

Well done Gents, Glad you like her...we came to call her our VLG (Very Lethal Girl). The 35 kept me rather busy from about 1998 until my retirement in 2018, so the last 20 years of my 32 year career. Here is a tidbit of information that is Not classified but it is also not widely known. During software troubleshooting regression testing, the sensor suite(s) and flight dynamics code was so complex and voluminous that even super computers were experiencing problems with the computational requirements and the company involved purchased two Quantum Computers to assist with the task (a Ph.D. Engineer who recently retired from a large American defense contractor's Aero company.

God bless UK 🇬🇧. Keep rocking guys.

Britush rules the waves

Amazing landing

I would love to fly these majestic machines

Great love from india...

English Channel, off the Devon and Cornwall coast, the Month of May.

0:28 When you wanted to become helicopter but after parent force you become fighter plane🤣🤣

I always argued they were no substitute for the Typhoon... Until I realised they aren't supposed to be. Apples and oranges - the F-35 is a support aircraft, and it fits that role nicely.

Looks a bit sunny to be in the North Sea today, weather is awful

Brits are good at hovering jets!

0:35 Dying your hair safety yellow, that's a commitment right there.

Great Britain from Pakistan love you UK

Love from India

We need more jets

That is quite a sight...prayers to you all on board.

Love from India to UK

Long live the Realm!

Proud of royal navy salutte from Chile 🇨🇱🇬🇧✌️

I'll always love the Harrier, it's still very capable....but times move on.

God saves the Queen! Salutation from Brazil!

What an amazing technology

تحيا مصر تحيا مصر تحيا مصر رغم كيد الحاقدين

thanks
