F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter Confirmed!
Aviation history will be made this summer when the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II, the Joint Strike Fighter makes its international display debut at the Air Tattoo.
This will include the F-35B short take-off/vertical landing version, demonstrating the Harrier-like 'hover' required for operation from austere land-bases and aircraft carriers.
Visitors to the Air Tattoo will be the first outside of the United States to see the aircraft's state-of-the-art capabilities when it displays on all three days, July 8-10. Read the full F-35 story HERE.
