U.S. Marine Corps Landing Signal Officers monitor a simulated F-35B Lightning II recovery inside the Manned Flight Simulator at the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division in Patuxent River, Md. The warfare center is serving as the interim schoolhouse for a new Marine Corps program that trains and certifies Landing Signal Officers for the unique short takeoff and vertical landing procedures of the F-35B. The school, which will also train international partners, is a critical step to standardize operations and enhance interoperability across the global F-35B fleet. (U.S. Navy photo by Chuck Regner)
