in California conducted complex loads calibration tests on a F\/A-18E aircraft from the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) in Patuxent River, Maryland. <br>NAVAIR retired its previous loads test aircraft and NASA Armstrong staff are assisting to prepare the new aircraft for its role to help safely manage in flight maneuvers and determine how the F\/A-18E fleet will perform if proposed
