A new era of testing is on the horizon at Eglin Air Force Base following the October arrival of the 96th Test Wing’s first F-35 Lightning II.
- The aircraft, designated AF-3, will belong to the Cyber Systems Integration Lab under the 48th Cyberspace Test Squadron.
The lab, currently working toward official standup, will focus on risk mitigation associated with all aspects of the joint strike fighter program.
AF-3 currently resides at the 33rd Fighter Wing but will eventually be located and maintained by the 96th Test Wing.
