Due to its special stealth characteristics including the special nature of its surfaces, colorful color schemes are barely found so far on the F-35. The 13th Squadron however did not want to let its centenary pass without adding some color on one of its F-35's stabilizers, painting Italy's Tricolore and Don Quijote from the units emblem on the outside of the left stabilizer.
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.
