Lockheed Martin F-35 High AOA Test Video

Not a lot of technical details in this youtube clip, but some fun video and commentary.  Looks like a nice stable pass at some AOA in excess of 20 degrees.  Given the tail configuration very similar to  the F-18, I would expect it to be capable of pretty worry-free maneuvering well in excess of 30 or 35 degrees eventually.
