An F-35B Lightning II fighter jet is readied for movement from the aircraft hangar to the flight deck via the aircraft lift aboard U.K. aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales Oct. 13, 2023. The short takeoff vertical landing (STOVL) variant of the 5th generation strike aircraft for Navy, Air Force, Marines, and allies is aboard to conduct developmental test phase 3 (DT-3) flight trials during the ship's deployment to the U.S. Eastern Seaboard for WESTLANT 2023. Pax River F-35 Integrated Test Force maintainers and the warship's aircraft handlers are working closely together as part of a broader test team and ship's company to conduct sea trials that continue pushing the boundaries of carrier aviation.
