The Boeing Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) 737 Avionics Flying Laboratory made its first flight at Wichita on 26 March. Boeing Aerospace Support has modified the aircraft to accommodate special avionics and instrumentation for development of the JSF. After two test flights lasting 2h, the 737 was delivered to the Boeing JSF site in Seattle. Boeing began design work on the 737 test aircraft in April last year, and started modifying it in December.
