Posted By: Oriana Pawlyk August 25, 2017
The F-35A Joint Strike Fighter is ready and poised to go to the Pacific — or any theater, for that matter — should tensions escalate with North Korea, the Air Force‘s top civilian said Friday.
“We now just passed 100,000 flying hours with the F-35, and it is doing very well and in any contingency, if there were a problem, they’re ready to go — ready to go to combat,” Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson told reporters during a briefing at the Pentagon.
