The 466th FS "Diamondbacks" are assigned to the 419th FW located at Hill AFB, Utah. The 419th FW is only one of forty U.S. Air Force Reserve units and is the only AFRC (Air Force Reserve Command) in Utah. In September 2015 Hill AFB received the first F-35 and on December 10, 2018 F-35A 15-5194 was delivered to the Hill AFB 419th FW and the 466th FS. The 419th FW borrows aircraft on an as-needed basis from the operational unit 388th FW/ 34th FS Rams they share Hill AFB with. 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.
