    On Oct. 24, 2000, test pilot Tom Morgenfeld flew the X-35A, a concept demonstrator aircraft, during its inaugural flight from Air Force Plant 42 in Palmdale, California, to Edwards Air Force Base, California. Morgenfeld completed the flight mission using just over 2,000 feet of runway to take-off before climbing to 10,000 feet with the gear down. The X-35A tested air vehicle performance and handling characteristics. The F-35 is the premier multi-mission, 5th generation weapon system. Its ability to collect, analyze and share data is a force multiplier that enhances all assets in the battle-space: with stealth technology, advanced sensors, weapons capacity, and range. The F-35, which has been operational since July of 2015, is the most lethal, survivable, and interoperable fighter aircraft ever built.
