F-35 Joint Strike Fighter

The F-35 Lighting II is the newest US military fighter. Developed jointly for the Air Force, Navy and Marines in different variations, it is slated to replace the F-16 when it enters full service with more than 2000 aircraft already planned. Designed as a single-seat, multi-role fighter, it will provide close air support, tactical bombing and air-to-air combat. The first production model flew late 2006.

Our Flight Simulator models include the F-35A for conventional landings, F-35B for vertical takeoff and landing and F-35C for carrier based operations. The models were created by Turgot Piskin, one of our long-time developers for both FSX and FS2004.
