Jani Luoto

Iso-Britannian kuninkaallisten ilmavoimien Lockheed Martin F-35B häivehävittäjä on lennetty illalla, yhdessä kahden Yhdysvaltain merijalkaväen F-35B häivehävittäjän kanssa vierailulle brittein saarille.

Vierailu on ajoitettu niin, että koneet pystyvät vierailemaan farnborough:n sekä Royal international air tattoo lentonäytöksissä. Kuninkaallisten ilmavoimien ja kuninkaallisten merivoimien on tarkoitus ottaa F-35 käyttöönsä vuoden 2018 aikana.

The first of Britain’s new supersonic ‘stealth’ strike fighters has touched down in the UK for the first time. The F-35B Lightning II jet was flown by RAF pilot Squadron Leader Hugh Nichols on its first transatlantic crossing, accompanied by two United States Marine Corps F-35B aircraft from their training base at Beaufort, South Carolina. The combined US/UK team of aircrew and engineers are here in the UK to demonstrate just what the 5th generation state of the art aircraft can do, flying at the Royal International Air Tattoo and Farnborough International Air Show over the next few weeks. The aircraft are due to enter service with the Royal Navy and RAF from 2018.
