This airframe, AF 5588, is part of the first batch of F-35As delivered to the 48th Fighter Wing at RAF Lakenheath (LN tail code). The blue hue from the cockpit canopy is a special coating for radar/IR reduction.

First time seeing an F-35 in person. Very impressive.

The tail code 'LN' marks this aircraft as assigned to RAF Lakenheath, the UK's base for USAF F-35A operations. The 48th Fighter Wing is the first USAF unit in Europe to operate the F-35A.

F-35A is the conventional takeoff variant and the most numerous version in the USAF inventory. The 'HL' tail code signifies Hill Air Force Base, Utah.
