First two Norwegian F-35s arrived at Luke AFB
The first two Norwegian F-35s arrived today at Luke Air Force Base, Ariz. Shortly after, a Norwegian pilot flew the F-35 Lightning II for the first time today, in conjunction with the Royal Norwegian air force's birthday.
The F-35 program took its first step forward integrating partner nations with the arrival of the first Australian F-35 Dec. 18, 2014, at Luke. Almost a year later the next big international step for the program came when two Italian pilots completed their first flight in an F-35 Nov. 5 here.
This marks the second international partner to have F-35s arrive for training at Luke.
"Today is a great day for the 62nd Fighter Squadron, the 56th Fighter Wing, and the U.S. and Norwegian air forces," said Lt. Col. Gregory Frana, 62nd FS commander. "Since the 62nd FS stood up as an F-35 squadron back in June of 2015, we have been focused on training the world's best F-35 pilots. Today, as we accept our first partner aircraft into the squadron, we are one step closer to fulfilling our mission of training the best F-35 pilots from around the world."
The day was a result of the combined efforts of the U.S. and its Norwegian partners.
"Over the past few months we have been working closely with our Norwegian partners to ensure that we are ready to receive and fly the most technologically advanced aircraft the world has ever seen," Frana said. "Today is the result of a monumental team effort, but the effort will not stop here. The effort will continue as the U.S. and our partners bring the F-35 to initial operational capability and utilize this amazing machine to strengthen alliances and defend our national interests."
Similar to the partnership Norway had with the U.S. and other partner nations with the F-16, the F-35 partnership will make for an unstoppable force.
"When it comes to the partnership, we see a very good transfer from our experience with the F-16 to the F-35," said Royal Norwegian air force Maj. Morten Hanche, 62nd FS training pilot. "Working with the same and some new partners, will allow us the same benefits. Also, it will allow us to easily integrate and operate together as one force. This is because we train together, we know each other and we keep it very similar."
Eight other nations will be training alongside the U.S. on the new airframe. Other partner nations that will be joining the U.S., Norway and Australia in the F-35 training program here will be Turkey, Italy, and the Netherlands, in addition to Foreign Military Sales countries Japan, Korea and Israel.
"When the F-35 deploys in the future, it will be alongside our Norwegian partners," said Brig. Gen. Scott Pleus, 56th FW commander. "The relationships built here in the West Valley will be critical to both our nations as we move forward. Building partnership activities is priceless as the Air Force reinforces long-established bonds and cultivates new friendships through training opportunities, exercises and military-to-military events."
Luke currently has 32 F-35s and by 2024, Luke is scheduled to have six fighter squadrons and 144 F-35s. Norway will have seven F-35s stationed at Luke.

Norwegian F-35A with Kongsberg JSM Joint strike missile
Norway has decided to procure the F-35, the Joint Strike Fighter, manufactured by Lockheed Martin to replace its F-16s. The Royal Norwegian Air Force needs a modern weapon system for its new aircraft, and has decided to develop a new missile, the Joint Strike Missile, JSM, which can be carried externally and internally in the bomb bay of the F-35.
The JSM missile system is designed for both Anti Surface Warfare (ASuW) and Naval Fire Support (NFS) missions in:
Open sea
Littoral
Over land
To comply with operation in these areas the missile system has been designed with:
Advanced engagement planning system which exploits the geography in the area
Accurate navigation system for flight close to terrain
High maneuverability to allow flight planning in close vicinity to land masses
Imaging target seeker for discrimination of land and non-targets
The JSM long range facilitates:
Launch platform standoff
Flexibility in engagement planning
Sea control / Sea denial over a wide area
Naval fire support and strike missions at long distance
The JSM weapon Data Link will be a two-way networking data link that will offer the following capabilities to the operator:
Target Update
Re-Targeting
Mission abort
Bomb Hit Indication (BHI)
The JSM Weapon Data Link Network will be a Link 16 compatible data link and will be compliant with standard military equipment.
The JSM missile is primarily designed for operations from fixed wing aircraft platforms.
Concept studies are under way to establish the requirements related to other platforms.
F-35 partner nations have expressed great interest in the new missile, some of the partner nations are funding work for integration of the JSM to the F-35.
