The F-35C is F-35C number one and the Navy was done with testing it at Patuxent River, Maryland, but wanted to use it for ground handling at Lakehurst, New Jersey. Well, how to best get it there? Hey, how about that cool new Marine CH-53K?
My suspicion is that the helo did not actually need to be refueled but they decided it would be a good opportunity to run that test again.
