European airpower in action. 🇮🇹

FL-014 is geland op Florennes. De 8ste F35 voor Florennes, de 16de in het totaal.
Three nations. One powerful display of allied airpower. 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇳🇴
Making history together🇬🇧🤝🇺🇸🤝🇳🇴
For the first time an American B-52 was escorted by British F-35s, whilst working alongside Norwegian F-35s. A milestone for the UK, USA and Norway, and another example of what can be achieved when allies work as one.
#StrongerTogether
Before the F-35, there was the X-35A. ✈️
26 years ago today, the X-35A took to the skies for the first time, paving the way for what would become a global fleet of 1,375+ F-35s delivered and more than 1 million flight hours logged.
And it all started here. 👇
We remain dedicated to delivering the most capable F-35 possible, strengthening the supply chain and improving fleet readiness to meet the future needs of the warfighter.
No aircraft operates alone.
Behind every mission are the people, partnerships and capabilities that make it possible. From aerial refueling to working alongside allied forces, the F-35 is built to be part of something bigger.
History made at sea! ⚡On Oct. 13, an F-35C successfully completed the first arrested landing aboard a Ford-class aircraft carrier, the future USS John F. Kennedy (CVN 79).
A major milestone for the @USNavy and the future of carrier-based aviation!
Here's why this milestone matters. 👇
The F-35C has operated from aircraft carriers for years, but the Ford class introduces advanced launch and recovery systems. This successful landing marks an important step in integrating the F-35C with the Navy's newest carriers.

Do naszej bazy w Łasku dotarł dziewiąty F-35. To pierwszy samolot z włoskiej linii produkcyjnej. Dostawy nowoczesnych samolotów „Husarz” to zasadniczy element budowy zdolności naszych Sił Powietrznych.
Samoloty 5. generacji znacząco zwiększają możliwości rozpoznania, rażenia i współdziałania z sojusznikami w ramach NATO. Dostawy przebiegają zgodnie z planem.
