The Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF) operates the F-35A Lightning II as its primary multirole fighter, replacing the F-16AM/BM. The 322 Squadron, based at Leeuwarden Air Base, and the 313 Squadron at Volkel Air Base fly the aircraft. The RNLAF's F-35As enhance NATO airpower, supporting deterrence, air policing, and expeditionary operations. Equipped with stealth, advanced sensors, and electronic warfare capabilities, they integrate with allied forces for joint and coalition missions. The Netherlands was a key partner in the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program, conducting initial training at Luke AFB before receiving its first operational aircraft in 2019. 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.
