Description: Hobby Master 1:72 Air Power Series HA4617 Lockheed F-35B Lightning II Diecast Model RAF No.207 Sqn, ZM149, HMS Prince of Wales, Sea Acceptance Trials June 2021Limited EditionRare and Collectible 1:72 Scale Length WidthLockheed F-35B Lightning II 8.5" 5.75" On June 9th, 2021, the UK performed the first landing of a Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning combat aircraft aboard the Royal Navy's (RN's) second aircraft carrier, HMS Prince of Wales. This milestone formed part of ongoing sea trials being conducted off the south coast of England as the vessel is advanced towards achieving full operational capability. Once declared fully operational, the UK's Carrier Strike capability will combine its pair of aircraft carriers with the F-35B. Lockheed F-35B Lightning II Designed to meet the US Military's requirement for a multi-role Joint Strike Fighter, the F-35 was first flown on December 15, 2006. This single-seat fighter is one of the most advanced aircraft of our time, said to be four times more effective at air-to-air combat and eight times more effective at air-to-ground combat than any other existing aircraft. It uses a low-maintenance stealth technology, and some versions have an innovative Lift System, which gives the F-35 vertical take-off and landing capabilities. The US plans to buy a total of 2,443 F-35s at a cost of $323 billion, which makes the F-35 the most expensive defense program in history. Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
