Two milestones at Luke AFB for the Royal Norwegian Air Force. The first two Norwegian F-35s arrived at Luke from the Lockheed Plant in TX to begin being used for training. On the same day, the first Norwegian F-35 student pilot at Luke flew his initial mission in the seat of a jet. Both events took place on Nov 10th, the Norwegian Air Force's birthday.
