F-35C Moves Closer to Carrier Launch

There's a first time for every critical maneuver.  This will probably be a land-based test catapult shot once the crews confirm hardware compatibility between the carrier-version of the F-35 and the test catapult systems.  Once it's been done over terra firma, sea trials will probably follow.
