Web site planned to lure F-35 to Tyndall

PANAMA CITY, Fla. – Bay County supporters of Tyndall Air Force Base plan a new Web site that promotes the base’s capabilities in a bid to get new F-35s and other missions at the base. At the request of the Bay Defense Alliance, Applied Research Associates is donating its services to develop the site. Eglin is the initial home of the Joint Strike Fighter Training Center, but other bases are also looking to get F-35s that are not currently scheduled for Eglin.
