3/18/2013 - NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. (AFNS) -- A reservist from the 706th Fighter Squadron here recently became the first to fly the F-35 Lightning II, Air Force's newest aircraft.
      3月18日，在内莉斯基地，706中队的一名飞行员成为首个在闪电2上飞行的空军后备队员。
Maj. Joseph Scholtz is an operational test pilot integrated into the active duty Air Force's 422nd Test and Evaluation Squadron, and currently Nellis AFB's only qualified F-35 pilot.
       约瑟夫 司考茨少校是嵌入现役422测试和验证中队的一名试飞员，他也是目前内莉斯基地唯一取得资格的F35飞行员。
'It's great to be on the ground floor,' said Scholtz. 'The program gives us a chance to influence how the Air Force is going to operate.'
      少校说，从0开始真是感觉棒极了。
The 422nd TES is unique in that it is the Air Force's only flying squadron to have all fighter aircraft with A-10s, F-15Cs, F-15Es, F-16s, F-22s, and now the nation's newest airframe, the F-35.
     422中队是唯一一个装备了 A10 F15C F15E F16 F22 和 F35等各型战斗机的单位。
Each flying platform in the 422nd TES is designated by a division, and each division generally takes several years of planning meetings, infrastructure expansion and dedicated maintenance support to build up. At least one reservist is integrated into each division to provide continuity over the years.
      每个机型在此都被指派到一个部门，每个部门嵌有一名空军后备队员，以保持连续性。
'Maj Scholtz was a natural choice upon which to build our new F-35 division,' said Lt. Col. Ryan Suttlemyre, 422nd TES commander. 'He is incredibly smart on the test process, a hard worker, and very detail oriented.'
        422中队F35部门的指挥官  瑞恩中校赞扬司考茨少校说，他非常聪明，工作勤奋，关注细节，是我们的理所当然的选择。
Before joining the Reserve in 2009, Scholtz was an active duty Airman in the 422nd TES flying A-10s. His prior experience with the unit coupled with the potential to remain at Nellis for a longer duration, proved advantageous to the new program.
        在转入后备队前，司考茨在422中队服现役，负责测试A10.
After board selection for the position, Scholtz trained for three months at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., to become qualified to fly the fifth generation, multi-role fighter.
       被选中后，司考茨在埃格林基地训练了3个月，以取得飞F35的资格证。
As test director, Scholtz is responsible for organizing ways to explore tactics and learning how to integrate the aircraft with other airframes.
      作为试飞员，少校将探索新战术并研究F35如何与其他机型协同。
'Some of the tests we execute are planned and flown over a number of years, and the ability to have Major Scholtz in place as the test director and long-term continuity for the program is invaluable,' Suttlemyre said.
        部分测试将持续数年，有少校这样有经验的老手参与，我们能保持项目的持续性。
'We depend on having key relationships with the contractors and engineers that develop new hardware, software and weapons, so having the same person interact with them provides unique benefits,' he said.
        我们市场要与承包商和工程师交流，因此有一名固定长期的试飞员在此工作非常有用。
Just as the Reserve-active duty partnership is significant to the division at Nellis, interaction with the operational test community is essential for the program's overall success.
        把后备队员吸收入试飞项目对项目成功非常必要。
'While the long-term continuity of reservists is key, it's also important to balance that with a continuing influx of active duty aircrew entering the operational test community,' said Suttlemyre.
      同时，我们也将持续的把现役飞行员加入飞行测试项目，已取得人员的新旧平衡。
'Our RegAF aircrews, most of whom are arriving from operational tours, guarantee we remain connected to the current challenges of combat-coded squadrons and what is happening in the combat theaters,' he said.
       现役飞行员能把最新的战术和经验带入项目中。
The F-35 is a single-engine, single-seat fighter made for air-to-air and air-to-surface operations. It was designed with international compatibility and integration in mind, with Nellis receiving the Conventional-Takeoff-and-Landing variant specified for the Air Force.
    F35是一种单引擎单座战斗机，可以对空对地作战。它设计时考虑了国际兼容和协同，当前在内莉斯基地接收的机型是为空军生产的F35A。
