A U.S. Marine Corps F-35B Lightning II with Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron (VMFAT) 501, Marine Aircraft Group, 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, flies during the 2026 Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point Air Show at MCAS Cherry Point, North Carolina, May 9, 2026. The F-35B is a fifth-generation stealth fighter that serves as a force multiplier to the Marine Air-Ground Task Force, capable of conducting air-to-air, air-to-surface and surveillance missions, with short takeoff and vertical landing capabilities that support expeditionary operations. America's Air Show 2025 is a unique and incredible opportunity to witness Marine and joint aviation capabilities, civilian performers and the world-famous Blue Angels; to celebrate the 250th birthday of the Marine Corps alongside Marines and to see first-hand the innovative spirit of the Marine Corps through emerging technologies and forward-thinking.
