130118-O-GR159-001 NAVAL AIR SYSTEMS COMMAND, PATUXENT RIVER, Md. (Jan. 18, 2013) Two F-35 Lightning II carrier variants complete an aerial refueling for the first time. Test pilots Navy Lt. Christopher Tabert and Dan Canin fly CF-1 and CF-2 respectively, with a KC-130 from Air Test and Evaluation Squadron (VX) 20 at Naval Air Station Patuxent River. This was the first dual aerial refueling for the F-35C. The F-35C carrier variant of the Lightning II is distinct from the F-35A and F-35B variants with its larger wing surfaces and reinforced landing gear to withstand catapult launches and deck landing impacts associated with the demanding aircraft carrier environment. Initial carrier trials for the F-35C are scheduled for 2014. The F-35C is undergoing flight test and evaluation at NAS Patuxent River before delivery to the fleet.

Air Force transfers two early Global Hawks to NASA

EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- Two Northrop Grumman Global Hawk Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration aircraft were recently transferred from the U.S. Air Force to NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center here. Initial research activities beginning in 2009 will support NASA's Airborne Science Program. The ability of the unmanned Global Hawk aircraft to autonomously fly long distances and remain aloft for extended periods brings a new capability to the science community for measuring, monitoring and observing remote locations of the Earth. The two Global Hawks were the first and sixth aircraft built under the original development program sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, and were made available to NASA when the Air Force had no further need for them.
