USMC F-35B Lightning II Demo 2023 MCAS Beaufort Air Show

The USMC F-35B Lightning II flies at the 2023 MCAS Beaufort Air Show. Shot on Sunday, April 23.

The F-35B is a regular performer at MCAS air shows, and it has been since 2013. VMFAT-501, based at Beaufort, has been doing full demonstrations since 2019. The demonstration pilot for this Demo was Maj. Nathaniel "BOBBIN" Keegan (if I am butchering that spelling, please correct me).

The weather at this show was perfect. Unfortunately, the heat and fatigue were getting to me at this point, so I messed up some parts. I will upload the other performances from this show over the coming weeks.

Enjoy!
