The depot at Hill AFB, Utah, has now worked on all three variants of the F-35, the first facility to do so. A Navy F-35C landed April 15 for modifications at the Ogden Air Logistics Complex. The facility first received an F-35A in Sept. 2013, and has worked on four F-35B models, according to a Hill release. The F-35C, which came from the training center at Eglin AFB, Fla., arrived for structural upgrades, low-observable restoration, and system modifications, the release states. The jet will stay at the complex through September.
