Completes 1,000 Hours At The Controls Of The Fighter Jet
Squadron Leader Charlie Matthews of No 1 (Fighter) Squadron, based at RAF Leuchars in Fife, located in the Scottish lowlands, recently reached a significant milestone in his flying career becoming one of the few pilots in the world to complete one thousand hours operating the Typhoon, the RAF’s state-of-the-art, multi-role combat aircraft.
More Than Half That Total Accumulated In The Past 11 Months
The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II program continues its operational maturation, surpassing 10,000 flight hours in September. More than half of the total hours were accumulated in just the past 11 months. Through September, F-35s flew 6,492 times for a total of 10,077 flight hours.
