Summary edit

Description 120808-O-GR159-001: EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif., (Aug. 8, 2012) Lockheed Martin test pilot Dan Canin flies BF-2 during air start testing. Air starts test the ability of the F-35's propulsion system to restart during flight. Verifying the restart capability of the propulsion system is part of the initial flight test program for the F-35 and a prerequisite for high angle-of-attack testing. The F-35B is the variant of the Joint Strike Fighter designed for use by U.S. Marine Corps, as well as F-35 international partners in the United Kingdom and Italy. The F-35B is capable of short take-offs and vertical landings to provide air power from amphibious ships, ski jump aircraft carriers and expeditionary airfields. The F-35B is undergoing test and evaluation at NAS Patuxent River prior to delivery to the fleet. (U.S. Navy photo courtesy of Lockheed Martin/Michael Jackson/released)
