Lockheed-Martin F-35B Follows A-Model into Airstart Testing

A lot of good info about the planned testing is available at the link below.  Apparently the A-model is done or nearly done with its airstart program.  Now the STOVL version will be doing the same prior to getting into serious high AOA testing.  27 different conditions are on the matrix.  I'm sure there will be some surprises, but the good news is that there are a LOT of landing options out at Edwards.
