A Turkish fighter pilot has carried out the first flight of the F-35 jet in the U.S. as part of ongoing training, the Turkish General Staff said on Tuesday.
Late June, Turkey took delivery of its first F-35 fighter jet at a ceremony in Forth Worth, Texas. Early July, the Pentagon said Turkish pilots and maintenance personnel were being trained on the F-35 fighter jet in the state of Arizona.
Turkey plans to get 100 F-35 fighter jets in upcoming years.
