MILESTONE MOMENT: Workers at Lockheed Martin's plant at Fort Worth, Texas are pictured last week preparing to load the first F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) into its assembly fixture.

The Lockheed Martin-built front fuselage and the Northrop Grumman-built centre fuselage make up the remainder of the F-35 airframe.
