The 301st Fighter Wing celebrated a milestone Saturday, Nov. 2, with a ceremony marking the arrival of its first F-35A Lightning II

Indeed. 22-5789 is currently in inspection. So probably not the right time for the ceremony.

They received their second jet today. AF-449, 22-5786 as it delivered as Mustang 11. Strange to see it come out of Lockheed (West side of NAS Fort Worth) and upon landing turn right to the 301st FW.

First Flight profile was flown with CF-107, 170550, nmks, Nov 5, 2024.
Perhaps a repeat F/F as it may have sat on the ground for some time.
