Hill to commemorate F-35 arrival with ceremonial unveiling Published Oct. 13, 2015 388th Fighter Wing Public Affairs HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah -- Hill will host an F-35 unveiling ceremony Oct. 14 to commemorate the beginning of a new era in combat air power. Live streaming of the event begins at 10 a.m. MDT at http://www.af.mil/live3.aspx. Col. David B. Lyons, who assumed command of the 388th Fighter Wing in June, said this event gives Hill AFB and the state of Utah an opportunity to celebrate leading the Air Force's operational transition to the Defense Department's newest fifth-generation fighter. Earlier this year, the re-activation of the 34th Fighter Squadron marked an historic milestone for the Air Force, as the unit became the first operational Air Force unit to fly combat-coded F-35s. The 388th and 419th FWs received the first two F-35s on Sept. 2. The wings will receive one to two F-35s per month until 72 aircraft have been delivered.
