The first two of thirty three F-35I Adir ("Mighty One" in Hebrew) ordered by Israel arrived on December 12, 2016 with the option to purchase seventeen more. The Israeli Air Force has two operational F-35 Squadrons, 116th "Lions of the South" and the 140th "Golden Eagles". Both squadrons are based at the Nevatim AB in the Negev Desert. Aircraft #909 is currently assigned to the 116th Sqn. 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.
