RAAF pilot paves future with first F-35 flight

Royal Australian Air Force Squadron Leader Andrew Jackson, F-35 Lightning II student pilot, exits his F-35A after completing his first flight on Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., March 18, 2015. Jackson made history as the first Australian pilot to fly in the F-35A. The fifth-generation aircraft will meet Australia’s future air combat and strike needs, providing a networked force-multiplier effect in terms of situational awareness and combat effectiveness.
