You don’t want to miss this one! On Saturday, May 30th, the Commemorative Air Force Southern California Wing at the Camarillo Airport will host Royal Navy pilots Commander Stephen ‘Lothar’ Collins, Officer Commanding the 17th Test and Evaluation Squadron (TES) at Edwards Air Force Base, and Lieutenant Commander Mark ‘Hux’ Huxtable, 17 TES Test Pilot. Lothar and Hux will regale us with stories of modern UK F-35B carrier ops, the Royal Navy’s Carrier Strike Group ‘21 cruise, and an F-35B ejection off the carrier (by one of our presenters). They’ll probably also discuss F-35B Test activities. Weather, operations, and maintenance permitting, CAF SoCal will fly one of its warbirds for you. So, mark your calendars to hear two Royal Navy pilots talk about Royal Navy F-35B operations and test activities at the summit of high-performance military aircraft.
