Turkey gets first F-35, but faces halt on future deliveries if Congress gets its way Much like the other partners in the F-35 joint strike fighter program, Turkey on June 21 accepted its first F-35 in a festive ceremony with cultural touches and fanfare.

Images of the flag waving were shown. National anthems were sung. A band played traditional music, while a man pirouetted onstage wearing leather bird wings. And finally the curtain dropped, revealing the first Turkish F-35A.
