First flight was May 22, 2023 as far as I know. And it was airborne only a short while. Although I do not know for sure but I believe it came back with some issues.

Re: F-35 Lightning II developments

First flight for AF-379, 20-5619/HL, 388 FW, 421 FS, today, May 1, 2023.

5 Lakenheath F-35's are to be delivered with a departure from NAS FW today but that did not happen. Perhaps tomorrow. AF-360/364 I imagine. But that is a wild guess.

Re: Lajes (LPLA/TER) 2023 MIL

I suspect some TX AFRES F-16's are on their way to Lajes for the TDY in the middle east.

They were supported by KC-135R Gold 01, 64-14832 of the TN ANG and Gold 02, 63-8018.
