10 stunning photos of the UK's first F-35B in action
The UK's Royal Air Force and Royal Navy have planned to acquire 138 models of the much talked about F-35B Lightning IIs from Lockheed Martin by 2018. Having these F-35Bs would allow the UK to enhance their carrier-strike capabilities with their two new aircraft carriers that were specifically designed to integrate with the unique planes.
In order to get acclimated with the jet, UK pilots have begun training with their counterparts across the pond. Taking off from RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, England, a UK pilot embarked on the transatlantic crossing with the F-35B, while accompanied by two of the US Marine Corps' F-35Bs.
Here are the pictures of the F-35Bs in flight:
