U.S. Marine Corps Lt. Col. Brian Hansell, officer in charge of Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 542, greets his family after a flight at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina, May 31, 2023. VMFA-542 received its first F-35B Lightning II jet as the Marine Corps’ first East Coast operational F-35B Lightning II squadron. The arrival of the aircraft marks the beginning of F-35B Lightning II deliveries to MCAS Cherry Point, continuing 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing’s (MAW) transition from legacy fixed-wing aircraft to the F-35 Lightning II. VMFA-542 is a subordinate unit of 2nd MAW, the aviation combat element of II Marine Expeditionary Force. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Anakin Smith)
