The Strike Aircraft Test aviators and engineers of VX-23 at NAS Patuxent River make it possible for Navy and Marine Corps aircraft to put their bombs and missiles on target. They also ensure that every pod, pylon, and protuberance can peacefully co-exist with the rest of the aircraft in all flight regimes. Test aircraft are festooned with cameras and other sensors to record the behavior of ordnance items as well as the behavior of aircraft structures to which they are attached. Careful test preparation is paramount to minimizing test risks.

Note: Each month a different image from the current calendar year is featured here. To avoid the gnawing 12-month period of suspense to see all 12 pieces (along with lots of aviation anniversaries (When did the first pig fly?), incredible trivia (What is Godzilla's "birthday"?), and outrageous quotes from people that should know better) place your order for the Aerocatures™ Calendar now!
