I am not 100% sure that I read that correctly, an F35B from Pax River went to California for wet weather testing?

No doubt we will hear when the rest of the tests points that have yet to be accomplished are achieved, hopefully not in a one by one drip feed.

How many hours are the F35s allowed to fly these days? Just thinking that a flight from Edwards to Pax may be outside the allowed envelope and how are the Marine F35s that had been planned to "display" at RIAT etc going to get back to the West Coast, a number of little hops skips and jumps across the continent? Interesting logistical support exercise.
