The first class of Polish Air Force pilots to train on the F-35A Lightning II multirole fighter plane have finished their program. The pilots finished their hands-on training at the Ebbing Air National Guard Base in Arkansas, where they had finished all theoretical and simulator exercises. Three months after receiving initial direction from the US 33rd Fighter Wing at the Eglin Air Force Base in Florida, all of the airmen began their practical training in January. The Polish pilots are the first foreign military members to undergo training at the air force facility.
