ATLANTIC OCEAN (Oct. 7, 2015) As day breaks over USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69), Cmdr. Tony “Brick” Wilson, an F-35 Lightning II test pilot from the Patuxent River Integrated Test Force (ITF) assigned to Air Test and Evaluation Squadron (VX) 23, prepares to conduct a test flight with F-35 Lightning II aircraft 75/CF-05. Data collected from test events designed to gradually expand the aircraft’s operating envelope will fuel future decision-making related to F-35C carrier integration and operations.
