Lockheed F-35A #08-0748 (AF-10) is the fifth production model F-35, manufactured using the moving assembly line that travels at a rate of 50 inches per hour. 0748 completed its maiden flight on June 29th, 2011 before being delivered to the 58th Fighter Squadron of the 33rd Operations Group on August 15th, 2011. The 33rd OG is the flying component of the 33rd Fighter Wing, stationed at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. Its primary mission is to provide training for USAF F-35A, USMC F-35B, and USN F-35C pilots and maintainence crews, as well as international partner training in the various versions of the aircraft. Designed to meet the US Military's requirement for a multi-role Joint Strike Fighter, the F-35 was first flown on December 15, 2006. This single-seat fighter is one of the most advanced aircraft of our time, said to be four times more effective at air-to-air combat and eight times more effective at air-to-ground combat than any other existing aircraft. It uses a low-maintenance stealth technology, and some versions have an innovative Lift System, which gives the F-35 vertical take-off and landing capabilities. The US plans to buy a total of 2,443 F-35s at a cost of $323 billion, which makes the F-35 the most expensive defense program in history. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
