According to today's Federal Register a total of 36 of the approximately $100 million aircraft are expected to be at Nellis by 2028. The planes will arrive in phases beginning in 2009.

The F-35 is a family of three multi-role aircraft designed to replace other aircraft in the Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps and the British military. The Air Force's F-35A version of the craft is expected to replace the F-16 Falcon and A-10 Thunderbolt II.
