Student pilots’ first time soaring in F-35 through allied F-35 B-course

U.S. Air Force Capt. Roland Neal, 62nd Fighter Squadron fighter pilot student, prepares to taxi onto the runway for his first flight in the F-35A Lightning II Oct. 1, 2019, at Luke Air Force Base, Ariz. Neal, along with one other U.S. and two other Norwegian student pilots, progress through the first-ever allied F-35 B-course, beginning training with classroom basics to identify how each system in the F-35 operates, then perform simulation training to be familiarized with the F-35’s components prior to flying. The 62nd FS activated in January 2015 at Luke Air Force Base as a joint international effort between Italy, Norway and the United States for F-35 training.
