The Danish Ministry of Defense has announced that the first Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II for the Royal Danish Air Force recently headed to the final assembly in Fort Worth, Texas F-35 production facility.

It is a significant milestone for Denmark’s first F-35 jet, known as AP-1, as it moves down the production line at Lockheed Martin’s mile-long assembly plant to the final point where its control surfaces will be added, along with final systems and engine installation.

AP-1 is due to roll out of the factory in early 2021 and will initially be based at Luke AFB, Arizona, where they will be part of the training of Danish pilots. The reception of the F-35 aircrafts in the Air Force will be completed over a period of six years from 2021 to 2026.

Wären wir mal auch früh genug miteingestiegen hätten wir jetzt sicher auch schon unseren ersten Ersatz für den Tornado und eine sinnvolle Lösung bis das mehr als ehrgeizige FCAS irgendwann eintrifft.
