In this photo taken over Spain recently, three Airbus Military A330 MRTT multi role tanker transports destined for different customers are shown in formation. The lead aircraft, furthest from the
camera will join the UK Royal Air Force where it will be known as Voyager as part of the Future Strategic Transport Aircraft (FSTA) programme; the middle aircraft is the original development
example which will eventually enter service with the Royal Australian Air Force; and the aircraft nearest the camera is the second for the United Arab Emirates air force.

Lockheed Martin F-35A Performs First Night Flight
January 24th, 2012 DEFENSETECH
Last week we showed you pics of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter’s first night flight that happened on Jan. 18 at Edwards Air Force Base in California. Well, Lockheed just released the video from
that dusk flight in which an F-35A took off at 5:05 pm and landed shortly after sunset at 6:20 pm. This came the same week that Defense Secretary Leon Panetta took the F-35B short take-off and
vertical landing variant off probation and that Lockheed annoucned that the F-35 schoolhouse at Eglin AFB, Fl., is now home to the largest fleet of JSFs in the country. Still, I’ve got to point
out that the operational jets based at Eglin aren’t cleared for flight.
Anyway, click through the jump to enjoy the video, and as always, turn the sound off to avoid the awful music.
