“Certainly in the next year-and-a-half or so, we will be far enough along in continuing [tactics development] to develop a weapons school syllabus for the F-35 … in the next two years, we’ll be transitioning pilots in the short term to get F-35 experience, but we’ll also be developing the [combat air forces] syllabus,” according to Col. Adrian Spain, USAFWS commandant.
The aircraft is currently assigned to the 16th Weapons Squadron.
