Some F-35s \u2014 though the Air Force did not say how many \u2014 still require additional maintenance, however. McAndrews said the Air Force is working with the F-35 Joint Program Office to solve that problem as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Navy Capt. Max \u201cPepper\u201d McCoy, the commodore of the Navy\u2019s Joint Strike Fighter Wing, said in a statement that the Navy is carrying out a flight schedule with F-35Cs that have completed and passed the inspection. McCoy also said that his wing will continue fleet-wide inspections of its F-35Cs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe continue to balance safety with operational requirements,\u201d McCoy said. \u201cSafety is our primary goal, and we will continue to take every measure to ensure safe operations while we continue to execute our mission.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside
