F-35s 'Blacken the Skies': "Lockheed Martin has flown the second production F-35, with US Air Force CTOL F-35A aircraft AF-7 completing a 1.3-hr flight from Fort Worth on March 4. AF-7 is the second of two aircraft in the first low-rate initial production batch and along with AF-6 - flown last week - will be used for maturity testing and operational assessment.
