Two Australian F-35A Lightning II Joint Strike Fighters (JSF) arrive to the Hickam ramp at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam on February 23. Hickam was the last stop before the aircraft would fly at Avalon air show in Victoria, Australia on March 3. The F-35A will provide Australia with a fifth generation aircraft at the forefront of air combat technology, to provide a networked force-miltiplier effect in terms of situational awareness and combat effectiveness.
