Low calorie attack from the Heartland

PLM. I selected AHEAD not Astern!

"Tower, paddles, radio check"
"Loud and clear. Loud and clear on the backup."
"Winds 25 over 15, right down the angle."

Pilot: "Computer, set PLM to a ship speed of 15 knots"
F-35: "Calling S5."
Pilot: "Cancel! Set PLM ship's speed, 15 knots."
F-35: "I do not understand your request. Would you like me to shut down the APU?"
Pilot: "No! Set ship's speed to 15 knots for landing!"
F-35: "KNOTS is not a waypoint within current fuel range. Would you like to divert?"
Pilot: "God dammit..."

F-35: "I see that you have Midrats on your calendar, would you like to pre-order a double slider? Just say "yes" to order"
Pilot: " Not now!"
F-35: "Ok, adding Pop's Leather to your shopping list"

Well, I hope them boys on the carrier enjoy eternal river city.

I can’t figure out how to upload it here but there’s a video floating around of the mishap, apparently someone was on the fantail/engine test stand area filming flight ops and got it all the way to mishap.

It will come out eventually, it always does, it wouldn't surprise me if others have video of it from vultures row.
