The first LRIP 2 (low rate initial production lot two) F-35A Joint Strike Fighter has flown, taking off from Naval Air Station Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base on May 6.
The USAF bound F-35A, AF-8, is due to be the first F-35 delivered to Eglin Air Force Base later this year.
It’s first flight followed a day after the hand-over of the first production F-35 (AF-7) to the USAF on May 5.
