ATLANTIC OCEAN (Oct. 8, 2015) Cmdr. Tony "Brick" Wilson, a test pilot with the F-35 Lightning II Patuxent River Integrated Test Force (ITF) assigned to the Salty Dogs of Air Test and Evaluation Squadron (VX) 23, prepares to launch an F-35C Lightning II from the deck of USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) during the second developmental test (DT-II) phase of the next-generation strike fighter. Based at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, the Pax River ITF features a highly diverse cadre of technicians, maintainers, engineers, logisticians, support staff and test pilots who have flown nearly 500 flights, logged more than 700 flight hours, and achieved almost 3,400 test points since January 2015.
