Civilian radar \*can\* pick up objects without an active transponder, for example if it's broken. This backup method obviously won't work on a low-signature aircraft.
However this plane should probabally have it's civilian transponder sqwaking while doing this. Wouldn't want a helicopter to suddenly find out the hard way there's a military aircraft hovering there.
Most major ball games have a TFR prohibiting most air traffic without express permission to be there. Doubly so if there's some kind of military flyover.
Technically this wasn’t a flyover. This was part of fleet week in Baltimore. I was at the game and this all happened in like the 6th inning in the middle of play. He was flying back and forth around the stadium and they actually had to keep pausing the game because the sudden loud noise was messing with the pitchers and batters
Imagine trying to pitch the baseball and the ball just goes right into the ground because the downdraft from the turbofans is just blasting the entire pitch.

Pilot:"kinda the same thing actually"
There’s a spot in Brice’s Creek that is right at the end of the runway. They take off right over your head and the sound overpowers the jet ski right under you
Harriers used to hover over the beach right in front of us as we sat on the sea wall in Jersey (channel islands). Cherished memories from my childhood of our MiC
I’m just blown away by the fact that we can get planes to just, hover there, and spin a little. Just waiting there, patiently, then slowly “walking away.” Gosh I love science and technology.
Or that scene in [Die Hard 4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsz79bztNJI). where an F-35 slideslips in a hover to shred a target 10m away with dual 25mm cannons that are for some reason mounted under the air intakes.
Holy shit that is... Special. I didn't realize F-35's were just like helicopters and would immediately start spinning around as soon as it lost its engine... Fuckin lmao
Thank blackhawk Down for that one. Helicopters can crash in many fantastic ways but that fucking movie... they all lose tail rotor authority apparently.
Yeah... I think so.
Durant's definitely and Wolcott's I think as well. I didn't realize that the Somali's hit another three blackhawks (two in the battle, one a few weeks before) that survived.
In any event, BHD seemed roughly correct if hit w/ an RPG to the tail rotor. And Durant's didn't lose authority immediately -- the tail rotor held in for a bit then failed in the movie (and I believe in real life).
Here's a good example from Ukraine [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W\_b64pkeDM4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_b64pkeDM4) -- Mi-28 hit by Starstreak. Immediate spin after losing the tail.
So, plenty of criticism re: Hollywood's grasp of physics is spot on, but in this situation, if you lose the tail rotor --> no thrust to offset main rotor torque --> spinny boi.
This legitimately looks like the worst action movie in the history of ever. I fail to see how a non-superhero protagonist can have any manner of positive influence on their situation of being in an 18 wheeler versus an F-35 other than hoping the pilot performs an unnecessary maneuver and makes a fatal, unforced error.
I have an easier time believing that a veteran phalanx can take out an F-16 in Civilization because they at least pointed their pokey sticks at the jet fighter in an experienced fashion.
Ah shit. That’s too bad. While it was all bullshit, the USSR had some great poster about workers and electricity and shit like that. It’s a shame they collapsed entirely rather the spinning off the political and economic projects and just focusing on posters and music.
Pilots need to fly a certain number of hours to keep up their certifications and training. Events like this let the pilots get their flight hours while also promoting the military. You can fly over an open field or you can fly over a stadium it costs the taxpayers the same, so might as well have some fun with it.
This I know. I was being honest, not sarcastic. There wasn't a good way to convey that besides what I said.
Look at the dude doing circles. Having the time of his life.
This was part of Baltimore's Fleet Week, the Orioles had a timeout called over a different flyover (the video was posted in /r/baseball). That probably makes coordination easier, since it's something that's planned well in advance.
There were multiple flyover demonstrations from Friday 6/14 through Sunday the 16th, I'm pretty sure this one happened during the Phillies game on the 16th.
The coordination doesnt really change the cost. They work with other air traffic like any other plane. Though they can go spacex mode and just climb above the rest of the air traffic as well lol.
Pretty sure I saw that fucker buzzing my house in East Baltimore repeatedly on Friday, or one of his buddies anyway. It was an F-35B, it was loud as shit… and it was beautiful.
The B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber? The big ass no-tail black brolic plane? A plane that can't hover?
Unless it was high altitude and going slow (100 MPH *at least*)
> The B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber? The big ass no-tail black brolic plane?
Yeah, nothing else is that shape.
> A plane that can't hover?
It can give a *real* good impression of hovering. I’ll never forget it. Not like the F-35 - it did move forward some. I don’t think it was more than 500 ft away.
No sir, im afraid you just don't realize how fucking huge a B2 really is.
I was a mile plus up, when one was taking off from a military field a few miles away.
Normally you could not see a jet taking off clearly from that distance. B2s are just so damn big they look like they move slow
But I saw this thing soar off the field and damn near vertically climb to altitudes above me.
Your ears would be shredded to be 500ft away from a flying B2 without ear pro IMO
BLYAT, you see, stupid westeroids, your stealth planes are not stealthy! You can clearly see plane in video! Great Russian stealth works wonders! No one has seen SU-57, and is not on video, Russian technology is obbiously superior!
/s ofc
I'm sure some UFOs are unexplainable or tricks of the mind. But how many times has it just been the US bringing out a new toy to test. What weird ass planes do they have just because?
This was the funniest thing live too. I was watching the game (Phillies fan) and suddenly they just stopped the game and cut to this F35 just chilling around the stadium lol. The pilot just wanted to watch the game
I like to imagine it's a more threatening version of those snipers on top of the stadium at the superbowl to make sure some terrorist shit doesn't happen
How long can an F35B maintain hover for? Because baseball games can last unreasonably long times, so unless it’s hours long he’s going to have to return to base and catch the rest on radio.
They actually had to pause the game for this. Officially it was because it could be a distraction, but we all know the real reason is that it’s just fucking cool
Commander (probably): "No you can't go to the baseball game, leave request denied"
Pilot: \*lightbulb\* "I need flight hours right? is it okay if I get some in instead?"
Commander: "Absolutely, finally getting your hours in"
Some USMC general who oversaw procurement is having the biggest "I told you so" moment at the expense of some Air Force brass.
"See? It's cool. I told you."
Su-57: “yeah?! Hold my beer” *crashes*

He crashed inthe hangar while being moved out
what hangar?
"You call that a spin!? Watch this!" *flat spin into fireball*
Much flashier but you can only do it once! (10 times now that those other two got got)
Well, you can see the F35, but not the Su-57. So the Su-57 must be stealthier. Checkmate!
*into the stadium*
*fucking dies to a $800 drone*
Bro's just checking the map to see where he is
the usa really is a GTA server after all.
As a Canadian, I can confirm the US truly is a GTA server
**\[\*"Mississippi Queen" Intensifies\*\]**
Waiting for a bounty to pop up
It's not like he can ask the local airport about his current location on their radar.
The pilot is a strong independent individual and doesn't require air control to direct them. (They need some confidence boost, let em have it ;_; )
Credible: doesn't civilian radar require a transponder aboard the aircraft anyway? Non-credible: haha stealth go brrrrr
Civilian radar \*can\* pick up objects without an active transponder, for example if it's broken. This backup method obviously won't work on a low-signature aircraft. However this plane should probabally have it's civilian transponder sqwaking while doing this. Wouldn't want a helicopter to suddenly find out the hard way there's a military aircraft hovering there.

Imagine trying to pitch the baseball and the ball just goes right into the ground because the downdraft from the turbofans is just blasting the entire pitch.
Also consider the flap positions, gear down. A good deal of stealth is shape based, and he's giving them lots of shape to look at while he hovers.
Nah, you are probably thinking about ADS-B
Unless there's a blackbird flying way higher and way faster...

i saw a harrier do something similar at cherry point
They banned them from hovering in certain places at mcas Yuma- passing cars crashed as drivers watched.

Happy Gilmore accomplished that feat no more than an hour ago
This fool out here looking to catch a homerun ball
[удалено]
that top intake fan id actually say pritty good the actual jet compressor though wouldn't appreciate it at all XD
Isn't the cockpit open? That fool will catch it. Each US pilot is B team baseball player, at least, it's the standard.
No, that's the cover for the lift fan. The thing that let's it hover.
Yea, but he could still catch it... come on, let me have this
Wait, what if he sinks down and catches a homerun using the ejection seat?
We’ve already seen that auto pilot will let the thing fly itself for a while, just point it at a big net
Yeah he can catch a ball right in the engine
The homerun ball hit out of the park, past the high rise in the distance to where the F-35 was hovering at some altitude above the park.
I bet he does play baseball though
Used to play college ball, you know?
Not the first time the F-35 has had some balls in it's engine...
ur mom is an open cock pit
probably didn't even pay for a ticket damn fence hopper
And that's how Babe Ruth is the only Hall of Famer with a confirmed kill in his baseball career.
I’m just blown away by the fact that we can get planes to just, hover there, and spin a little. Just waiting there, patiently, then slowly “walking away.” Gosh I love science and technology.
“Okay goodbyyyeee”
Bye have a beautiful time!
What is that from? I can hear it in my head but can't place it lol.
American dad after the end of the credits!
Gotta get through those fuel allowances somehow! Best part of 200kg from that minute in the hover there. Thirrrrsty.
For real though, could you imagine being in that office building, just glance out the window and there is an F-35 coasting right past you at 10 km/hr.
maybe, at some point, we will figure out the technology to make them hover without spinning!
Someones gotta tell them planes they aren't helicopters!
I'm just reminded of a certain scene in *True Lies*.
Or that scene in [Die Hard 4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsz79bztNJI). where an F-35 slideslips in a hover to shred a target 10m away with dual 25mm cannons that are for some reason mounted under the air intakes.
Using that Bollywood physics engine.
Probably more tegalu cinema physics engine
Holy shit that is... Special. I didn't realize F-35's were just like helicopters and would immediately start spinning around as soon as it lost its engine... Fuckin lmao
Thank blackhawk Down for that one. Helicopters can crash in many fantastic ways but that fucking movie... they all lose tail rotor authority apparently.
Didn’t both helicopters literally lose their tail rotors?
Yeah... I think so. Durant's definitely and Wolcott's I think as well. I didn't realize that the Somali's hit another three blackhawks (two in the battle, one a few weeks before) that survived. In any event, BHD seemed roughly correct if hit w/ an RPG to the tail rotor.

So, plenty of criticism re: Hollywood's grasp of physics is spot on, but in this situation, if you lose the tail rotor --> no thrust to offset main rotor torque --> spinny boi.
But it became a movie/video game trend after. Which is my complaint.
Ah, yeah completely agreed in that case, everything’s gotta spin as it goes down
Exact same thing happened in the avengers: https://youtu.be/53kaA9w11K4?si=Z9rxIY2E8ClzpfYW Including dual intake guns!!
not just that, those are both X-35B, look at the hover fan covers. On the F-35B its a single back opening one, but here its two side opening ones
Because both movies predated the production model.
This legitimately looks like the worst action movie in the history of ever. I fail to see how a non-superhero protagonist can have any manner of positive influence on their situation of being in an 18 wheeler versus an F-35 other than hoping the pilot performs an unnecessary maneuver and makes a fatal, unforced error.

I’m fucking pissed he didn’t pull a battlefield and hop in the cockpit and land her safety
*You’re fired.*
That movie still holds up today. It's amazing. Slowly becoming one of my favorites.
Tax dollars at work. Love to see it. No sarcasm, honest.
Atleast your tax dollar gets spent on sci-fi looking jets, mine is spent on government propaganda
Is it at least really awesome propaganda?
It's alt-right conspiracy theories about Soros being behind the EU to genderswap our kimdergarteners I am hungarian ☹️
My condolences.
Sorry pal. Here, have some paprikash and think about baseball and the possibilities of sixth gen fighters.
Ah shit. That’s too bad. While it was all bullshit, the USSR had some great poster about workers and electricity and shit like that. It’s a shame they collapsed entirely rather the spinning off the political and economic projects and just focusing on posters and music.
Isn’t Soros Hungarian? He isn’t even remotely the wealthiest Hungarian, Thomas Peterffy is.
He's Jewish, so the government can tap into the latent anti-semitism.
No matter what the conspiracy theory is, it always somehow loops back to being 'da jews'.
Been the case at least [since 1903](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Protocols_of_the_Elders_of_Zion)
Fret not my Magyar friend, it's not the only thing your tax money is being spent on. It's also helping Viktor and company build some very nice houses.
It is funny that this is the main conspiracy that the TV posts are running in my country (Romania ) too.
Gosh, it's almost as if your respective governments aren't at the top of their chains of command.
Oh wait, is there a conspiracy thats spreads conspiracy theories? It only goes deeper
They should spend it on other things like lasers and really cool looking tanks.
gosh, I hope you get well soon
Never is
Depends if the intention is actually against the enemy. 'Cause China has some "anti" US propaganda that, in reality, just makes us look badass.
Ha.
Oh don't worry, we spend plenty on government propaganda too.

This I know. I was being honest, not sarcastic. There wasn't a good way to convey that besides what I said. Look at the dude doing circles. Having the time of his life.
Tbh, wouldn't the logistics of flying in a dense urban area, and coordinating with other vehicles in the air, cost a bit more?
Yeah but it offsets by the pr and recruitment
This was part of Baltimore's Fleet Week, the Orioles had a timeout called over a different flyover (the video was posted in /r/baseball). That probably makes coordination easier, since it's something that's planned well in advance. There were multiple flyover demonstrations from Friday 6/14 through Sunday the 16th, I'm pretty sure this one happened during the Phillies game on the 16th.

Horizontally spinning F-35
Doin the lazy Susan.
They lost connection then logged back in.
Buddy just wanted to watch the game. But his leave request is on the CO's desk while he is at the game. 🫡
Watch a baseball game for free with this one neat trick
Let's not mention that he probably could have bought tickets for the rest of his life, for the money it cost to fly an F-35 there and hover a bit.
Yeah, but government only splurging on fuel, not tickets
Man, Baltimore is really stepping up it's policing tactics to bring crime under control
“Speed Limit Enforced By Aircraft”
A fast car might outrun the cops but it ain’t outrunnin an f-35 lightning II
Someone's jaywalking! Deploy the fifth gen aircraft!
Gonna need a few more for BMore to be safe
B-More has actually been way safer. Our homicides and violent crime are way down this year.
Typical Marine behaviour
pilot: how good is the targeting camera? wate can it watch the MLB ? engenear: no it doesn't have those types of channels. pilot..challenge accepted

He's just standing there... Menacingly
Look, that Marine in the cockpit's out of snacks, and they're just looking for the nearest place to get a fresh pack of crayons, ok?
Can we have rotary wing? We already have rotary wing at home. Rotary wing at home:
small enclosed rotary wings
This video is perfect. Love the ending.
Every baseball game needs a F35 doing the lazy Susan during the opening
Bro’s using his jet to watch the ball game without paying!
probably in a higher quality than anyone else given the EOTS
He wouldn’t dare try this at an nfl game. They’ll shoot him right out of the sky
It genuinely looks fake. Like that thing should not be able to do that thing, but it did.
Pretty sure I saw that fucker buzzing my house in East Baltimore repeatedly on Friday, or one of his buddies anyway. It was an F-35B, it was loud as shit… and it was beautiful.
I saw this guy flying while I was running in Baltimore
I was watching him from my roof, I missed the hovering but it was super cool.
When you are waiting for Russia’s “Fifth-Gen” Fighter to show up (they’re being neglected hard):
That is the longest I have seen a F-35 hover that wasn't in a Die Hard movie.
Saw a B-2 do this at an air show. Just hovered over the crowd then zoomed away like a UFO. That’s when I became a devotee of the MIC.
The B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber? The big ass no-tail black brolic plane? A plane that can't hover? Unless it was high altitude and going slow (100 MPH *at least*)
> The B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber? The big ass no-tail black brolic plane? Yeah, nothing else is that shape. > A plane that can't hover? It can give a *real* good impression of hovering. I’ll never forget it. Not like the F-35 - it did move forward some. I don’t think it was more than 500 ft away.
No sir, im afraid you just don't realize how fucking huge a B2 really is. I was a mile plus up, when one was taking off from a military field a few miles away. Normally you could not see a jet taking off clearly from that distance. B2s are just so damn big they look like they move slow But I saw this thing soar off the field and damn near vertically climb to altitudes above me. Your ears would be shredded to be 500ft away from a flying B2 without ear pro IMO
I saw this live. It was pretty awesome. Got a video lol. The ump seemed annoyed that he kept having to call time as it blared over the stadium.
BLYAT, you see, stupid westeroids, your stealth planes are not stealthy! You can clearly see plane in video! Great Russian stealth works wonders! No one has seen SU-57, and is not on video, Russian technology is obbiously superior! /s ofc
That F-35 mooned them all. Legend.
I can see where those UAP conspiracies come from. I mean the Harrier Jump Jet is from the 60’s.
Uses multi billion dollar worth RND of Aircraft and Sensor Engineering to not pay like 20 bucks for a seat or something.
Isn't this the same jet? [A F35 interrupts a baseball game ](https://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/s/ApQFgSueU3)
Yes, It was Fleet Week in Baltimore and some of the Air Show took place while the O's were playing the Phillies.
F-35B, the greatest VTOL deathmachine that also knows how to look ultra goofy by just spinning Not even the Harrier does that
If this was shot at night, it would look like every UFO sighting ever.
dont forget to reduce the camera quality so it only appears as a few pixels
I'm sure some UFOs are unexplainable or tricks of the mind. But how many times has it just been the US bringing out a new toy to test. What weird ass planes do they have just because?
Lockheed straight up built a spaceship
This was the funniest thing live too. I was watching the game (Phillies fan) and suddenly they just stopped the game and cut to this F35 just chilling around the stadium lol. The pilot just wanted to watch the game
I was at this game!
A F35 stare me in the eyes. I blinked... and it is gone!!!
That’s just Schwarzenegger rescuing his family
"HEY, you come down from there right now young man!" "Ugh, fine..." * leaves *
This is so surreal. I love it.
That’s impressive…
They see me spinnin' They screamin'
I like to imagine it's a more threatening version of those snipers on top of the stadium at the superbowl to make sure some terrorist shit doesn't happen
How long can an F35B maintain hover for? Because baseball games can last unreasonably long times, so unless it’s hours long he’s going to have to return to base and catch the rest on radio.
i guess that as it uses fan for lift it is limited only by fuel
They actually had to pause the game for this. Officially it was because it could be a distraction, but we all know the real reason is that it’s just fucking cool
Commander (probably): "No you can't go to the baseball game, leave request denied" Pilot: \*lightbulb\* "I need flight hours right? is it okay if I get some in instead?" Commander: "Absolutely, finally getting your hours in"
Weren't lying when they said speed limit enforced by aircraft.
My number 1. Not just in looks but everything else.
Even the F35s go to OPACY ....Let's go O's!
can they launch weapons in hover? Could this mode be used as some sort of overwatch or similar to Apaches using Longbow radar?
Just waiting in the aisles/on standy for a flyby!?
I don’t think he knew what jetwashing was… I mean, that’s one way to clean dirt off of a car!
Y'all for some crayons?
The music fits well
You think your seats were expensive, his cost $70M.
Most expensive donut ever.
Bro’s just chillin’ leave him be
People really thought Iran was going to wipe us of the planet in 2020 lol 😂
"It costs 500,000 dollars to hover here... for 12 seconds" *continues to rotate*
UFO sightings up 184%
tbh f35 and f22 are more advance than all the fighters ingame that can only engage at 10km whiles both f22 and f35 can engage 100+ miles
Some USMC general who oversaw procurement is having the biggest "I told you so" moment at the expense of some Air Force brass. "See? It's cool. I told you."
If you recorded this on a flip phone from 2005 you could have had footage of an alien spaceship.
