Ever wonder how the F-35 handles extreme cold? ❄️ Before it ever sees a winter runway, it goes through this — extreme cold weather testing. We’ll be honest…we’re pretty glad we’re not in the cockpit for this part. 🥶🔗

Monday morning soundtrack, courtesy of the F-35. 🔊⚡ #DYK The F-35's F135 engine produces more than 40,000 pounds of thrust with afterburner.

A historic first for the F-35C and the test pilots behind the controls. ⚡ On Oct. 13, VX-23 test pilots brought the F-35C aboard PCU John F. Kennedy for its first arrested landing on a Ford-class aircraft carrier, supporting aircraft compatibility testing at sea. #F35Pilots

The October F-35 Fast Facts just touched down. ⚡ More stealth jets, flight hours and milestones = building strength in numbers.
