Aviation enthusiasts are in for a historic treat at the Vaasa Airshow on June 15-16, 2024, as the skies over Finland will witness an unprecedented formation flight. The Royal Netherlands Air Force’s F-35 Lightning II will join the Finnish Air Force’s F/A-18 Hornet in a spectacular display, marking the first time these two fighter jets will fly together in Finnish airspace.
Planes: AN-17 (F-017) ja AN-14 (F-014)

F-35 Lightning II
F-35 is also able to provide electronic warfare and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities. Lockheed Martin is the prime F-35 contractor, with principal partners Northrop Grumman and BAE Systems. The aircraft has three main variants: the conventional takeoff and landing F-35A (CTOL), the short take-off and vertical-landing F-35B (STOVL), and the carrier-based F-35C (CV/CATOBAR).
Manufacturer's data:
The 5th generaton F-35 Lightning II integrates advanced stealth technology into a highly agile, supersonic aircraf that provides the pilot with unprecedented situatonal awareness and unmatched lethality and survivability.

The three F-35 variants have similar performance characteristics, and are mainly distinguished by their different basing requirements. As a result, the F-35B and F-35C variants have unique ways to take off and land.
The variation between models allows military forces to achieve service-specific mission capability, while still taking advantage the economies of scale that result from the parts and processes that are common to all three variants.
The F-35A conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) variant is designed to operate from conventional runways, and is the only version to carry an internal cannon. The F-35A will be the most prevalent variant of the F-35. The U.S. Air Force as well as the majority of our allied air forces and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) nations will operate the F-35A, replacing their 3rd and 4th generation aircraft.
The F-35B model short takeoff/vertical landing (STOVL) variant is designed to operate from austere, short-field bases and a range of air-capable ships operating near front-line combat zones. The F-35B can also take off and land conventionally from longer runways at major bases.
F-35C - For the first time in U.S. Naval aviation history, radar-evading stealth capability comes to the carrier deck.
Suomeksi
Hollannin kuninkaalliset ilmavoimat tuo F-35 Lightning II -hävittäjiä paikalle yhteensä kaksi kappaletta maanäyttelyyn. Yksi näistä F-35:stä suorittaa lauantaina myös näyttäviä ohilentoja yhdessä Suomen Ilmavoimien F/A-18 Hornetin kanssa. Tämä historiallinen hetki on ensimmäinen kerta, kun Suomessa nähdään F-35 lentämässä osastona Hornetin kanssa lentonäytöksessä, tarjoten katsojille unohtumattoman elämyksen.
