The 33rd FW’s first F-35 departs Eglin AFB

U.S. Air Force F-35A Lightning II, tail number 08-0747, takes off from Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, September 25, 2025. Due to the climate-environment of the Florida panhandle, older jets like aircraft 747 that are not lightning-modified are less suitable for pilot training here.
