RAF Sqdn. Ldr. Jim Schofiield was the pilot of F-35B BF-4 for Flight
100, which involved open weapon bay door environmental testing with an
AIM-120 on 22 March 2012.
i remember reading there needs to be software upgrades until it can actually deploy weapons, when will LM have the aircraft for weapons? can they drop inert weapons with current software block for further testing?
oh i agree its gotten to far along to stop, i think its great its beat its critics, i jsut remember software was part of the concurrency but i havent heard any updates so i was just wondering if the software it had now allowed full testing of weapons before OIC.

ReplyDeleteUSMC will declare OIC with Block 2B software.
