160205-O-ZZ999-964 NAS Patuxent River (February 5, 2016) An Italian Air Force (Aeronautica Militare) KC-767 aerial refueling tanker and an Italian Air Force F-35A Lightning II aircraft made aviation history Feb. 5 as the next generation stealth fighter completed the very first F-35 trans-Atlantic Ocean crossing. The tanker refueled the F-35A during a two-phase, 11-hour deployment across the North Atlantic from Cameri Air Base, Italy to NAS Patuxent River. The F-35A aircraft is the first international F-35 jet fully built overseas at the Cameri Final Assembly &amp; Check-Out (FACO) facility and is also the first F-35 assembled outside of the U.S. to land on U.S. soil.
