The depot at Hill AFB, Utah, has now worked on all three variants of the F-35, the first facility to do so. A Navy F-35C landed April 15 for modifications at the Ogden Air Logistics Complex. The facility first received an F-35A in Sept. 2013, and has worked on four F-35B models, according to a Hill release. The F-35C, which came from the training center at Eglin AFB, Fla., arrived for structural upgrades, low-observable restoration, and system modifications, the release states. The jet will stay at the complex through September.
The Air Force on Jan. 6 released nearly a dozen photos of F-22 and F-35 fighters returning to Puerto Rico after supporting the raid to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro—the first official images of forces who participated in Operation Absolute Resolve.
