Lockheed Martin F-35C c/n CF-8 (USN Bu. No 168735) was the last test aircraft produced and performed its maiden flight on June 20, 2013 at NAS Fort Worth JRB (Joint Reserve Base). The aircraft was delivered to the USN on August 2, 2013 and in September was transferred on loan to the F-35 Integrated Test Force (ITF) at Edwards" AFB VX-23 Squadron "Salty Dogs" serial ED-104. In August 2016 and still wearing ED-104 the aircraft was transferred to VX-9 "Vampires" also located at Edwards AFB. 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.
