The 422nd TES (Test and Evaluation Squadron) was established in 2013 specifically to test and evaluate the Lockheed F-35 Lightning II. This testing will determine how best to use this new aircraft in operational conditions and situations. Using the finding of these tests the 422nd TES with develop tactics for air-to-air and air-to-ground combat scenarios. Lockheed F-35A Lightning II 10-5009 was delivered to the military on December 21, 2012. On March 19, 2013 10-5009 was assigned to the 422nd TES at Nellis AFB, Nevada. 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.
