Freshour, conduct a test flight debriefing with U.S. Air Force Maj. Christopher White, the 59th Test and Evaluation Squadron F-35 project manager, at Mountain Home AFB, Idaho, February 17, 2016. Six operational test and evaluation F-35s and more than 85 Airmen of the 31st TES, traveled to Mountain Home AFB to conduct the first simulated deployment test of the F-35A, specifically to execute three key initial operational capability mission sets: suppression of enemy air defenses, close air support and air interdiction in conjunction with other platforms, such as the F-15Es of the 389th.
