On this date first UK F-35 squadron
F-35 Joint Program Office
June 6, 2018 | 0:19
Lightning Flash Fact: On June 6, 2018, four F-35B Lightning II aircraft arrived at RAF Marham, England, to become the UK’s first F-35 squadron, the Dambusters. The F-35 Joint Program Office is the Department of Defense's focal point for the 5th generation strike aircraft for the Navy, Air Force, Marines, and our allies. The F-35 is the premier multi-mission, 5th generation weapon system. Its ability to collect, analyze and share data is a force multiplier that enhances all assets in the battle-space: with stealth technology, advanced sensors, weapons capacity, and range. The F-35, which has been operational since July of 2015, is the most lethal, survivable, and interoperable fighter aircraft ever built.
