Eglin Air Force Base

The 96th Medical Group held a ceremony to celebrate the opening of the Air Force's first Invisible Wounds Center.

While one F-35A stealth fighter at Eglin was experiencing a nose gear malfunction, another F-35 experienced a bird strike.

One pilot was on board the F-35, but did not sustain any injuries as a result of the mishaps, the Air force said.

The 33rd Fighter Wing hopes it will receive additional F-35As, along with considerable upgrades to its existing fleet.

The engineers and system developers with the Air Force's 96th Test Wing at Eglin AFB work on a wide range of projects.

The fifth-generation stealth fighter is still expected to make its international debut next month at the Farnborough Air Show...
