    A pilot prepares his F-35B Lightning II take off from the flight line aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort July 27. The pilot is conducting familiarization training with the new aircraft. It is essential that pilots sustain their skills in the sky to maintain mission readiness. During familiarization training a pilot flies alongside an instructor who will test him on various capabilities of the jet. The F-35B is a 5th generation fighter being adopted by militaries all over the world and is the newest addition to the Marine Corps Air arsenal. The pilot is with Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron 501.
