Here you have it, people: four F-35A Lightning IIs returning in formation to Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. According to the USAF, "pilots with the 33rd Fighter Wing began flying the formation for the first time at Eglin AFB last week." After so many production problems and delays, only now they have enough planes to do it.
