ATLANTIC OCEAN (Oct. 5, 2015) Lt. Chris “TJ” Karapostoles launches aircraft 73/CF-03 off of the flight deck of USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69). During DT-II, two F-35C test aircraft performed a variety of operational maneuvers while simulating maintenance operations and conducting general maintenance and fit tests for the aircraft and support equipment. Following the analysis of DT-II flight test data, the ITF test team will conduct a thorough assessment of the F-35C’s performance in the shipboard environment before advising the Navy on any adjustments necessary to ensure that the next-generation fighter is ready to meet its scheduled IOC in 2018.
