Thanks for checking this latest edition of the Luke AFB Thunderbolt! F-35 Lightning II maintainers made history in mid-June: for the first time, a team from the 421st Expeditionary Fighter Squadron deployed to Norway for a cross-servicing event, during which they worked with their Norwegian counterparts to receive and turn around two American F-35As after their arrival from Finland. While the visit was short, it was an opportunity to practice seamless integration in preparation for future deployments. Click on the link below to read more about this program milestone.
