Fresh Lightnings at Fort Worth

摘要

MAIN IMAGE: Pictured during its first flight on November 12 is Royal Australian Air Force F-35A A35-032 (MSN AU-32), bound for the 2nd Operational Conversion Unit (OCU) at RAAF Base Williamtown in New South Wales, Australia. The unit lost its F/A-18A/B Hornets in December 2019 and has been re-equipping with F-35As since early in 2020. Although not visible in this photo, the fighter (callsign 'Strike 61') carries the FMS serial no 18-5403 on the nose-wheel door.
