F-35C Tests Completed On The Aircraft Carrier USS Eisenhower

Washington Post: F-35 lands on aircraft carrier as Hurricane Joaquin churned up the East Coast

For nearly a week, the Navy has been flying the F-35C off the USS Eisenhower in tests designed to see how the next-generation fighter performs at sea. One of the biggest challenges? Landing on the air carrier last week when Hurricane Joaquin was barreling through the Atlantic.

“Despite a hurricane churning at sea and some of the worst weather experienced on the east coast of the U.S. in years,” the fighter jets stuck their landings, said Joe DellaVedova, a spokesman for the Pentagon’s F-35 joint program office.
