A Navy F-35C Stealth Fighter unexpectedly landed this afternoon at Amarillo International /Rick Husband Airport. According to sources at the airport, the fifth-generation fighter was flying cross country and stopped at Signature Air Flight Service to refuel.
This is the first and only time that an F-35 has landed in Amarillo. The F-35 is attached to the VFA-125 squadron "Flight Replacement Squadron" out of Naval Air Station, Lemoore California.
The F-35C is the first and world’s only long-range stealth strike fighter designed and built explicitly for Navy carrier operations.
