First operational F-35As arrive

An F-35A Lightning II aircraft passes under a water arch at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, Sept. 2, 2015. The jet and another F-35A, the first of the Air Force’s newest fifth-generation fighter aircraft to arrive at the base, were delivered by Col. David Lyons, 388th Fighter Wing commander, and Lt. Col. Yosef Morris, 34th Fighter Squadron director of operations. The rest of the fleet of up to 72 F-35s will be coming in on a staggered basis through 2019. The 388th and 419th Fighter Wings at Hill were selected as the first Air Force units to fly combat-coded F-35s. (U.S. Air Force photo by R. Nial Bradshaw/Released))
