March 14: After last week’s aborted first training flight, US Marine Corps Major Joseph Bachmann successfully piloted the second F-35 local orientation flight on March 13.
AF-13, an F-35A, launched at 14:30 CDT from Eglin AFB in Florida and completed a 93-minute flight, landing at 16:03 CDT. The wing’s two F-35 pilots, in conjunction with its integrated team of military members, civilians and contractors, will begin to slowly build up their number of sorties with an initial goal of flying twice a week for the first couple of weeks and then steadily increasing the weekly sortie count.
