This F-35A 18-5420/’LF’ is destined for the 56th Fighter Wing/62nd Fighter Squadron at Luke AFB, Arizona, and was temporarily loaned to Lockheed Martin on November 10, 2020 for chase duties, using the callsign ‘Lightning 12’. For maiden flights, two F-35s will launch with the second aircraft acting as chase. This has been caused by withdrawal of the two Lockheed Martin F-16s that had been used for chase duties
