Test pilots at VX-23 had to verify the Super Hornet’s up-and-away and powered-approach modes were affected with the tanks installed.
The article also disclosed that the AIM-9X Block II missiles were fired from stations 2 and 10 and the weapon separation of the AGM-84D Harpoon will be carried out later this year.
