Check flight

Marine Lt. Col. Roger Hardy, Defense Contract Management Agency F-35 Lightning II acceptance pilot, prepares for his first of six F-35A check out flights at the 33rd Fighter Wing. The AV-8B Harrier pilot is the first military member to qualify in flying operations at the wing who isn't assigned to Eglin. He currently works at the DCMA office, Lockheed Martin, Ft. Worth, Texas, to provide government oversight/inspection of contractor aircraft operations; ensuring safe and effective joint strike fighters are operationally ready before they are delivered to the Department of Defense.
