Lockheed F-35A 5146 c/n AM-06 is just one of seven F-35s operated by the 62nd FS based at Luke AFB and used for training Norwegian pilots how to fly this type and all the various components. In late 2020 the air received a special paint scheme to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the LUFTFORSVARET (Royal Norwegian Air Force). The markings are on the outside of the nose landing gear doors and include the Norwegian flag and the word Litago. Probably after a WWII Spitfire, piloted by Johan Kristoffer Bjørn Ræder named Litago.
