In September 2014 the Republic of Korea agreed to purchase 40 Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning IIs to replace their old F-4E Phantom IIs. In August 2017 the first RoKAF aircraft AW-1 serial 17-008 reached the EMAS (Electronic Matte and Assembly Line) where all the pieces start to come together. According to Lockheed Martin this airframe is on schedule for an April 2018 delivery. The plan is for all 40 RoKAF F-35As to be delivered by 2021 and as each aircraft is completed it will go to Luke AFB for pilot training.
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 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
