PATUXENT RIVER, Md. -- On Feb. 26, 2011, an F-35B test aircraft (BF-2)
completed its 100th flight with Lockheed Martin test pilot David "Doc"
Nelson at the controls. The 100th flight for BF-2 accomplished further
short take-off envelope expansion in preparation for shipboard testing
later this year. The F-35B is the Marine Corps variant of the Joint
Strike Fighter, which is capable of short take-offs and vertical
landings. It is undergoing test and evaluation at Naval Air Station
