F-35B Lightning II Stealth

Osprey is a death trap. F35B is a waste of money. In what scenario is VTOL really necessary? How often do you want to land a fighter jet into a war zone? Maybe that scene in Iron Eagle where Doug Masters needs to go pick up his dad.
 
Very neat videos - both the F35-B and the Osprey. I've also read about the Osprey's deficiencies and the hazards. My father worked on the Stealth B2 bomber while he worked at Northrop Grumman.

Stealth technology never ceases to amaze me.

It does have a history of failures and deaths, but I would get in it today. You don't have to watch the entire documentary, but at least fast forward to 39:58 and watch it to the end, so about 5 minutes. As they say, the failures & deaths are about a decade old at the time of the documentary.
