Sept. 23 marked the first time the F-35 Lightning II program conducted an external store weapons separation test. The Pax River ITF test team released four GBU-12 Laser Guided Bomb inert test assets from the F-35C external wing weapon pylons of aircraft CF-02 during flight 394. The team released the weapons individually during four test runs on a single flight over the Atlantic Test Ranges, demonstrating their test efficiency by accomplishing four flights worth of test work in a single flight.
