Hello, everyone and welcome to the May 2021 issue of Luke AFB Thunderbolt! The F-35 program marked another milestone in mid-April, as Royal Danish air force pilots delivered the first two RDAF F-35A Lightning II fighter jets to Luke AFB, in preparation for pilot training. The aircraft, assigned to the 308th Fighter Squadron, will eventually be joined by five other Danish F-35s for use in the F-35 training program. “We’ve been preparing for the first Danish jets for years. Now that they’re here, we’re excited to train our first Danish fighter pilots,” said Lt. Col. Matt “HAIL” Cisar, 308th FS commander. We have full coverage of this story and much more news, in this month’s issue of Luke AFB Thunderbolt.
