Thunderbirds receive first F-35s
HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah (AFPN) — Hill Air Force Base officials rolled out the first of 11 configured F-35 Lightnings for the Air Force Thunderbirds aerial demonstration team.
During a ceremonial hand over April 1st, attended by incoming 2017-2018 Thunderbirds commander and lead pilot Lt. Col. Greg Thomas, and a full house of media, military and civilian spectators, Ogden Air Logistics Center officials presented the first converted jet to the aerial demonstration team.
Additionally, the 309th Maintenance Wing along with the 508th Aerospace Sustainment Wing, both under the Ogden ALC, are partnering to remove the weapons system from each aircraft and replace it with a smoke-generating system. Each aircraft gets a new red, white and blue paint job too.
“If these aircraft were needed in a combat situation, they can be reverted back to combat-ready in three days,” said 1st Lt. Elbert Mose, a program manager in the 508th Aircraft Sustainment Group. “We have never had a situation where that has happened, but in 72 hours we could put the gun system back into a plane and (it would) be completely ready.”
Colonel Thomas said the delivery of the first air show-ready Thunderbird at Hill is significant to more than just would-be air show spectators.
If it is so much a fever for You to be correct, then I admit “YES; THE J-20 IS GREEN !”
As if the colour of a Chinese military aircraft is our biggest concern today?
big enough concern for you to call it out when it wasn’t even addressed to you in the first place
in any case. on to the H-6k color
