The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is a family of single-seat, single-engine, all-weather stealth multirole fighters undergoing final development and testing by the United States. The fifth generation combat aircraft is designed to perform ground attack, aerial reconnaissance, and air defense missions. The F-35 has three main models: the F-35A conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) variant, the F-35B short take-off and vertical-landing (STOVL) variant, and the F-35C carrier-based Catapult Assisted Take-Off But Arrested Recovery (CATOBAR) variant. On 31 July 2015, the first squadron was declared ready for deployment after intensive testing by the United States.
The F-35 is descended from the X-35, which was the winning design of the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program. It is being designed and built by an aerospace industry team led by Lockheed Martin. Other major F-35 industry partners include Northrop Grumman, Pratt & Whitney and BAE Systems. The F-35 took its first flight on 15 December 2006. The United States plans to buy 2,457 aircraft. The F-35 variants are intended to provide the bulk of the manned tactical airpower of the U.S. Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps over the coming decades. Deliveries of the F-35 for the U.S. military are scheduled to be completed in 2037.
On Aug. 2, 2016, the United States Air Force declared Initial Operational Capability for the F-35A Lightning II. Watch this video to see the timeline of significant events, milestones and accomplishments made possible by the thousands of men and women working towards this major declaration.

F-35 Lightning II or Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) is an aircraft project involving several nations, and which is still under development. Many country have joined the project and contributed both capital and technology. The F-35A is the "normal" version: CTOL (Conventional Take-Off and Landing). It has an internal 25 mm gatlingkanon using boom and receptacle -lufttankning as a starting point. This version will be used by the US Air Force, the Canadian, Norwegian and many other air forces, including the Air Force, in the event that Denmark chose t...

US NAVY - F35A Ready for Combat Mission Worldwide The US Air Force on Tuesday declared its first squadron of F-35As ready for battle. This is 15 years after Lockheed Martin won the contract to design and build the plane. It is the most expensive weapons system ever built at a cost of $400 billion. The aircraft has significantly improved from the early days of the program; its stealth, electronic warfare and sensor fusion capabilities are urgently needed for future conflicts. It has the ability to penetrate defensive airspace and deliver precision munitions with sensor suites that fuses data from multiple information sources. It can also provide close-air support, air interdiction, and limited suppression and destruction of enemy air defense missions. Its stealth capability as well as the...

Is this what you expected
The day that you enlisted
To kill
And he's not afraid to blow you away
Flying, soaring, bombing
Bringing death to those innocent
Crash burn
My dad's an F16 pilot
Crash burn
Is this the price that the invaded must pay for our liberation
A fee of blood
Flying soaring bombing
Bringing death to those innocent
You take them
You force them to fight
What happens to the family
