    ATLANTIC OCEAN (Oct. 2, 2015) Cmdr. Christian “Wilson” Sewell from the F-35 Lightning II Pax River Integrated Test Force (ITF) conducts carrier qualifications on USS Dwight D. Eisenhower as part of the second developmental test (DT-II) phase of the F-35C. During DT-II, two F-35C test aircraft will perform 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 fifth-generation fighter is ready to meet its scheduled IOC in 2018.
