Bob Stevens, Lockheed Martin chairman and chief executive officer said: “The F-35B is the world’s only fifth generation, supersonic, stealthy combat aircraft that can also hover, take off and land virtually anywhere Marines are in action.”
The three aircraft delivered at an official ceremony at the Marine Corps air station in Yuma, Arizona brings to 16 the number of F-35 Joint Strike Fighters delivered during 2012 so far.
