493rd/495th Time Line

Post by welshandy » Sun May 09, 2021 3:39 pm

Am I right in assuming the 495th will be first to operate the F35A's in late 2021? Then when will the 493rd swap their F15C/D's for F35's?

Yes the 495th will be here towards the end of the year, it's not been confirmed yet about the 493rd but probably won't be going anywhere for a couple years at least.
