The Norwegian parliament unanimously approved the funding of four F-35A
Lightning II fighters on 21 June 2011. These F-35s, which will be
delivered to the US-based international training center at Eglin AFB,
Florida, in 2016, will be used for initial Royal Norwegian Air Force
pilot training. Norway plans to acquire forty-eight of the conventional
takeoff and landing variant of the Lightning II to replace its current
F-16 fleet by 2023. Norway is one of the nine partner countries involved
in the F-35 program. Artist concept by Ed Armstrong |
