The Royal Netherlands Air Force 323 Squadron formed on November 15, 1948 and in 1950 became a Fighter Weapons School. In July 1992 the 323 became Tactical Training Evaluation and Standardization Squadron (TACTESS). Equipped with the F-16AM (Mid Life Update) the 323 was also used as an operational unit. On October 31, 2014 323 TACTESS retired but on June 15, 2015 323 was resurrected as a Test and Evaluation Squadron (TES) located at Edwards AFB flying the F-35A. One of the two aircraft used at Edwards was F-001 MSN AN-1 delivered July 2013. 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.
