Defense News: The U.S. Navy’s carrier-launched F-35C is being integrated into the carrier air wing as it pushes toward being declared operational early next year.
Here in the Virginia Capes Operating Area, the Lincoln is launching F-35Cs side by side with the Navy’s stalwart F/A-18 Super Hornets, E-2 Hawkeyes and C-2 Greyhounds. It is the first time the naval aviation enterprise is rehearsing as a full band with its newest player.
