Lockheed F-35A AF-1 is the first F-35 to be manufactured using the moving assembly line that travels at a rate of 50 inches per hour. AF-1 or AF-01 as some label it; is the first CTOL F-35 and completed its maiden flight on November 14, 2009. This flight marked the 130th flight in the F-35 program and the fourth F-35 for flight operations. The aircraft was sent to the Final Finishes Facility and on April 13, 2010 it was rolled out wearing a hand-paint fin flash on the vertical stabilizers. On May 17, 2010 AF01 flew to Edwards AFB for extensive testing. Designed to meet the US Military's requirement for a multi-role Joint Strike Fighter, the F-35 was first flown on December 15, 2006. This single-seat fighter is one of the most advanced aircraft of our time, said to be four times more effective at air-to-air combat and eight times more effective at air-to-ground combat than any other existing aircraft. It uses a low-maintenance stealth technology, and some versions have an innovative Lift System, which gives the F-35 vertical take-off and landing capabilities. The US plans to buy a total of 2,443 F-35s at a cost of $323 billion, which makes the F-35 the most expensive defense program in history. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
