U.S. Marines assigned to Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 251, Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina, conduct preflight checks on F-35C Lightning II aircraft during RED FLAG-Alaska 26-3 at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Aug. 25, 2026. The F-35C Lightning II integrates advanced stealth technology into a highly agile, supersonic aircraft that provides the pilot with unprecedented situational awareness, unmatched lethality and survivability. RED FLAG-Alaska sustains deterrence by ensuring U.S. and allied forces maintain a lethal, ready, and combat-credible posture. (U.S. Air Force video by Airman 1st Class Xavier Romero)
