According to the "F-35 Flight Test Update 7" on Code One Magazine.
25 January 2012: First Spooldown Airstarts
Lockheed Martin test pilot David Nelson was at the controls of F-35A AF-4 Flight 95 for the program’s first engine airstarts. The 2.1-hour mission out of Edwards AFB, California, included eight successful engine spooldown airstarts.

Amazing...
To remind you, AF-4 was the one with the generators malfunction during flight last year. |

Could not find that airstart reference until now. Seems like a whole series of news items are under the banner 'F-35 Flight Test Update 7'
http://www.codeonemagazine.com/gallery_ ... ry_style=3
Anyway another bit of news if it has not been posted already from the same page. Seems as though the HTML is not properly linked either. Clicking on news headline goes to large photo rather than a separate news item? Anyhoo...
"Highest Altitude To Date
9 January 2012: F-35A AF-4 flew at the program’s highest altitude to date, 43,500 feet above mean sea level, or MSL, with Air Force Lt. Col. George Griffiths at the controls. The 1.2-hour flight from Edwards AFB, California, marked AF-4 Flight 92." |
