The first international partner involved in the Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning II project to receive the new aircraft was the Royal Netherlands Air Force. Their first F-35A was c/n AN-1, tail code F-001 and assigned a USAF serial number 09-5008. It made its inaugural flight on August 6, 2012 and on July 25, 2013 the aircraft was officially handed over to the Dutch with the first flight by an RNLAF pilot taking place on December 18, 2013. The RNLAF are expected to obtain 85 F-35As in total. 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 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
