History
Formerly an F-16A/B squadron,[2] the squadron was closed in August 2013, as part of IDF budget cuts. Its aircraft were allocated to 116 Squadron (Defenders of the South).[citation needed]
In 2015, it was announced that the "Golden Eagle" Squadron would be the first Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II Squadron in the IAF.[3] The squadron received its first two aircraft in December 2016.[1]
