Lightning Flash Fact!
On this day in 2019, an F-35A Lightning II aircraft demonstrated its formidable bombing capability for the first time, delivering precision strikes against an entrenched ISIS tunnel network and weapons caches.
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.
