Traverse City Air Show

This is the sixth in a series of seven posts of things I saw at the air show in Traverse City, Michigan.

As promised in the previous post, here are two shots I bagged of the Lockheed Martin F35B Lightning II (Marines).

As I understand it this jet can open hatches and ports (see second image) to deflect thrust so that it can effectively hover—as it did for a time over Grand Traverse Bay, West Arm, as a demonstration. In addition, I believe the plane has stealth and supersonic capabilities.

Two images by Richard Koenig; taken June 28th 2025.

A British F-35B Lightning II stealth fighter jet made an emergency landing at Kagoshima Airport after a mid-air mechanical alert during joint exercises with Japan and the U.S. The RAF jet, operating from HMS Prince of Wales, landed safely but caused a 20-minute airport closure, delaying six flights.

This marks the second such incident in two months, following a June landing in India that grounded the jet for 37 days. The episode has reignited concerns over the $115M aircraft’s reliability during long overseas missions.

The F-35B of VX-23 with the special Kaga emblem on the vertical tail, Bu.No . "168717" seems to be the same aircraft that landed on the Italian Navy aircraft carrier "Cavour" in 2021 (also with the special emblem). ( ※ Image reproduced from Wikipedia)
