Lockheed Martin today
announced the first flight of Denmark's first F-35 Lightning II production
aircraft, L-001.
Denmark is the fifth
European NATO nation to fly and operate an F-35. It is joining four other
European nations who already operate the F-35: the United
Kingdom, the Netherlands, Norway and Italy.
L-001 is scheduled to be
delivered to the Royal Danish Air Force in April and will be flown to Luke Air
Force Base, Arizona, later this year for pilot and maintainer training.
F-35s will arrive in Denmark in 2023 and be based at Royal Danish Air
Force's Fighter Wing Skrydstrup where it will safeguard the skies over Denmark
and its NATO allies.
