The 301st Fighter Wing celebrated a milestone Saturday, Nov. 2, with a ceremony marking the arrival of its first F-35A Lightning II

F-35A 22-5709 HL inside hangar
Indeed. 22-5789 was NOT delivered as I previously stated. The delivery was aborted and 5789 is still at LM.

With the above clarified they receive their FIRST jet today. AF-449, 22-5786 as it delivered as Mustang 11. Strange to see it come out of Lockheed (West side of NAS Fort Worth) and upon landing turn right to the 301st FW.

First Flight profile was flown with CF-107, 170550, nmks, Nov 5, 2024.
Perhaps a repeat F/F as it may have sat on the ground for some time.
