U.S. Marines with Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron (VMFAT) 501 perform F-35B preflight inspections, ordnance load and aerial operations at Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho, March 19, 2022. VMFAT-501 deployed to Mountain Home Air Force Base to train entry-level pilots to be proficient at close air-support and high-explosive ordnance drops to better support their future squadrons.
The F-35 Joint Program Office is the Department of Defense's focal point for the 5th generation strike aircraft for the Navy, Air Force, Marines, and our allies. The F-35 is the premier multi-mission, 5th generation weapon system. Its ability to collect, analyze and share data is a force multiplier that enhances all assets in the battle-space: with stealth technology, advanced sensors, weapons capacity, and range. The F-35, which has been operational since July of 2015, is the most lethal, survivable, and interoperable fighter aircraft ever built.
