    An F-35B Lightning II short takeoff vertical landing (STOVL) variant fighter jet piloted by a test pilot performs a shipborne rolling vertical landing aboard the HMS Prince of Wales (R09) aircraft carrier Oct. 24, 2023. The 5th generation strike aircraft for Navy, Air Force, Marines, and allies is aboard the U.K.’s newest carrier to conduct developmental test phase 3 (DT-3) flight trials, which continue today. During the ship's deployment to the U.S. Eastern Seaboard for WESTLANT 2023, a Pax River F-35 Integrated Test Force (Pax ITF) team is working closely with the ship's company to conduct the sea trials that continue pushing the boundaries of carrier aviation.
