Four of the flights occurred at NAS Patuxent River, Maryland, where F-35B BF-1 completed two flights and BF-2 and CF-1 completed one flight each. Three more occurred at Edwards AFB, California, where F-35A AF-1, AF-2, and AF-3 completed one flight each. AF-1’s mission, its 109th, was the longest of the seven flights at 3.1 hours. |

Pretty sure we won't be hearing about this on Ares. ;-)
ReplyDeleteyeah i'm positive we won't. i don't know whats going on over there.
ReplyDeletei'll bite my tongue but things aren't adding up!
Ops certainly do seem to be ramping up finally. They are certainly starting to use the tanker at Pax more. I just hope they can get the mission software together on time. I think that;s the big sticking point at the moment. All the other stuff they've hit lately has been standard RDT&E junk.
