    An inert GBU-12 bomb, dropped by an F-35A, impacts next to its intended target during testing of the close air support capabilities of the F-35A at Saylor Creek Range, part of the Mountain Home Air Force Base complex, Idaho, Feb 16, 2016. Special Operations ground attack controllers directed attacks by six operational test and evaluation F-35As, supported by more than 85 Airmen, of the 31st Test and Evaluation Squadron, a tenant unit at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., which travelled 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.
