The Lockheed F-35 Lightning II is going to be more or less what the F-16 and F-18 are today: the backbone of the US and NATO land and sea-based air forces. It is a multi-role fighter, and one of its versions has the capability to take off with a very short roll and land vertically. Tucker “Cinco” Hamilton is a test pilot who has flown all three versions of the jet. In this episode we talk about flying this fifth-gen fighter and about some aspects of the testing program. For more F-35 and Cinco check out episode 78 of the Fighter Pilot Podcast.

Thank you for another very interesting episode!
I just had to look it up:
MAGIC CARPET = Maritime Augmented Guidance with Integrated Controls for Carrier Approach and Recovery Precision Enabling Technologies
Not the first time I am wondering if there is an extra budget planned in an engineering project just to find the best name-abbreviation combination :)
Hallo
Zu schade das mein englisch zu schlecht ist um die intressanten Dinge zu verstehen :/

Very nice episode as most aerospace episodes. Next generation fighters apparently also come with next generation test pilots (compare this to the F-14 and Harrier episode). :-)
