ARLINGTON, Va. — The Navy is beginning the formal operational testing of its first stealth aircraft to determine how well the F-35C Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter performs against stated goals and requirements, the admiral heading the integration office of F-35C said Wednesday.

Rear Adm. Dale “Woody” Horan said the arrival of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 147 out of Naval Air Station Lemoore, Calif., aboard carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70) was the start to answering the question “does it do what we want it to do.”
