F-35B Sea Trials Going Well

Looks like the F-35B is exceeding pilot expectations during trials on an amphibious assault ship.  Although I spent three years flying the Hornet, I've never been a carrier guy, but it is my understanding that ships like the Wasp, where these trials are happening, are less than half the size of an aircraft carrier, so this has to be an exciting set of tests.
