Lockheed Martin says F-35 global fleet surpasses 1,355 deliveries and one million flight hours amid new allied milestones worldwide
Lockheed Martin reported that the global F-35 fleet has exceeded 1,355 delivered aircraft and accumulated more than one million flight hours. The company linked the milestone to continued expansion among United States services and international operators, including new training, basing and operational achievements. It also cited combat employment in several recent operations as evidence of the aircraft’s growing role in allied airpower. The figures reflect fleet scale and utilization, but they do not by themselves address continuing sustainment costs, availability rates or the pace of delivering upgraded configurations.
