Lockheed F-35A 5146 c/n AM-06 is just one of seven F-35s operated by the 62nd FS based at Luke AFB and used for training Norwegian pilots how to fly this type and all the various components. In late 2020 the air received a special paint scheme to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the LUFTFORSVARET (Royal Norwegian Air Force). The markings are on the outside of the nose landing gear doors and include the Norwegian flag and the word Litago. Probably after a WWII Spitfire, piloted by Johan Kristoffer Bjørn Ræder named Litago. 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 2003-2023 The Flying Mule, Inc.
