The first two combat-coded F-35A Lightning II aircraft arrive at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, Sept. 2. Hill was selected as the location for the first operational F-35 fleet and will receive up to 70 additional jets on a staggered basis through 2019. Hill Airmen from the active-duty 388th and Reserve 419th Fighter Wings will fly and maintain the fleet. Standing up the first operational F-35 unit at Hill allows for synergy with the co-located F-35 depot maintenance team, and access to the nearby Utah Test and Training Range.

Hundreds of thousands of people witnessed the speed and maneuverability of the F-35A during two attack demonstrations at Hill’s 2018 Warriors Over the Wasatch Air and Space show here. The combat scenarios featured dialogue between a Joint Terminal Attack Controller in ground combat coordinating close air support with F-35A pilots. The demonstration featured multiple passes from the jets and a pyrotechnic display. Hill’s 388th Fighter Wing is the first combat-capable F-35A wing in the Air Force and this is the first time they have flown an attack demonstration in an air show.
