More than 100 flight hours have been clocked since May 1 using the latest iteration of the Block 3i software.

Starting this week, the JPO will begin to upgrade the F-35 fleet (LRIP 6, 7, and 8 aircraft) with the new code.

Fixes have also been incorporated into a new version of Block 2B software and this will be uploaded to LRIP 2-5 aircraft by the end of May.
