Lockheed Martin knew what they were doing 🦅

Lockheed Martin is based for doing that

Very similar take by Lockheed Martin 🦅 Monumental Reichsbahn locomotive eagle measuring 139.7 × 63.8 cm. Cast in aluminum, these eagles were mounted on lead express locomotives of the Reichsbahn, Nazi Germany's state railway enterprise. Only five such eagles have yet to be discovered, with just three complete examples believed to remain today. The other two eagles, outside of our collection, are held at the German Museum of Technology in Berlin and the Museum of Industrial Culture in Nuremberg.

The handover happened yesterday September 18, 2026, at Lockheed Martin’s Fort Worth, Texas facility. The first German aircraft carries the Luftwaffe serial 35+01 and had made its maiden flight on September 8. Germany has ordered 35 F-35As to replace part of the aging Tornado fleet. The important distinction is that 35+01 isn’t going straight to Germany yet. The first German F-35s will remain in the United States at Ebbing Air National Guard Base, Arkansas, where German pilots and maintainers will train. The first aircraft are scheduled to arrive at Büchel Air Base in Germany in 2027. The F-35A gives the Luftwaffe a fifth-generation stealth aircraft with sensor fusion, advanced networking and a top speed of about Mach 1.6. It will also eventually assume Germany’s NATO nuclear-sharing role currently performed by the Tornado. Deutschland ist zurück! 🇩🇪
