Five additional F-35A Lightning II Husarz fighters landed at Poland\u2019s \u0141ask Air Base on August 28, raising the number of aircraft delivered to the country to eight. The arrival marks another stage in Warsaw\u2019s 32-aircraft acquisition and the Polish Air Force\u2019s transition to the Lockheed Martin fighter.<\/p>\n
The U.S. Department of War delivered the aircraft on a ferry flight that included a stop in the Azores. The five jets carry tail numbers 3512 through 3516.<\/p>\n
Eight other Polish F-35As remain at Ebbing Air Base in Fort Smith, where they support training for Polish pilots and other personnel. Together with the aircraft now in Poland, they comprise the 16 jets assembled at Lockheed Martin\u2019s Fort Worth plant in Texas.<\/p>\n
The remaining 16 aircraft covered by Poland\u2019s current order will be assembled at the European final assembly facility in Cameri, Italy. Lockheed Martin and Leonardo operate the site, which gives the second half of the Polish fleet a shorter delivery route.<\/p>\n
