They keep coming as promised, with more on the way. As you know, I was given a briefing on the F-35 Training Program a couple of weeks ago and after leaving, this program is alive and well, with efforts are being made to expedite the training program for a variety of reasons. One being, it is the right thing to do for the national security of our country, period. So stay tune, as you will see some great news coming from Eglin and the training program and the impact it will have on our community.
FORT WORTH, Texas --- Two Lockheed Martin F-35As, AF-10 and AF-11, along with two F-16 chase aircraft, landed at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., Wednesday afternoon at 1:19 p.m. CDT today. On Friday, the F-35 Joint Program Office has authorized the return to flight operations for F-35 production aircraft. AF-10 and AF-11 completed the 90-minute flight marking the ninth and tenth F-35 contractual deliveries of 2011. The pair of conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) jets will be used for training pilots and maintainers at the new F-35 Integrated Training Center there.
