The first group of what will eventually be 16 F-35Bs has departed Miramar for Iwakuni Japan. The deployment called for 10 aircraft to go first, followed in a few months by 6 more.
Once at Iwakuni, the aircraft will perform their first shipboard deployment on the USS Bonhomme Richard. They'll spend at least one night at Elmendorf for crew rest, before continuing on.

I can't wait to see how it performs against another 5th gen aircraft. Not that I am a advocate of war but still would like to see it in action.
