First F-35A For Denmark Takes Flight

Recently, L-001, Denmark’s first F-35 Lightning II production aircraft, flew its inaugural flight. Denmark is the fifth European NATO nation to fly and operate an F-35, strengthening NATO’s 5th generation airpower foundation. The country is joining four other European nations who already operate the F-35 – the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Norway and Italy.
 
Like the F-16 before it, the F-35 is spearheading NATO’s air power and ensuring strategic integration of allied combat airpower. The vital interoperability of the 5th Generation F-35 binds 13 allies and partners with the U.S. in air dominance and enabling critical joint capabilities.
 
“Achieving the first flight of Denmark’s first F-35 is a testament to the outstanding abilities of our dedicated and highly trained joint industry and government team,” said 
Bill Brotherton, acting F-35 vice president and general manager. 
 
L-001 is scheduled to be delivered to the Royal Danish Air Force in April and will be flown to Luke Air Force Base, Arizona, later this year for pilot and maintainer training. F-35s will arrive in Denmark in 2023 and be based at Royal Danish Air Force’s Fighter Wing Skrydstrup where it will safeguard the skies over Denmark and its NATO allies.
