F-35A - LM flyr danskenes første fly - Avionics Intl.


 Denmark’s first F-35 Lightning II, L-001, took its inaugural flight this week, Lockheed Martin announced in a March 10 press release. Denmark is the fifth NATO nation to fly the aircraft. 

"Achieving the first flight of Denmark's first F-35 is major milestone for the Denmark F-35 program and a testament to the outstanding abilities of our dedicated and highly trained joint industry and government team,"  Bill Brotherton, acting F-35 vice president and general manager at Lockheed Martin, said in a statement.  "This team's focus on delivering the most effective, survivable and connected fighter in the world will ensure the sovereign protection of Denmark and strengthen allies and partners through the NATO F-35 coalition."

The Royal Danish Air Force will receive L-001 in April and pilot and maintainer training will take place later in 2021 at Luke Air Force Base in Arizona, according to the release.
