The Washington Times offers a U.S. Navy video of history in the making, as an F-35C Lightning II fighter makes its first landing on an aircraft carrier (in this case the Nimitz). (The F-35C is the carrier version of this aircraft.)

Thanks for these links, quiller...  My husband spent his tour of duty with the Navy aboard an aircraft carrier.
