More Information
“J” is for Joint Strike Fighter program– The JSF program flies the F-35B Lightning II and is the next generation striking aircraft within the Department of Defense. The F-35 was inducted into 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, Feb. 24, 2014 at Eglin Air Force Base, FL. The F-35B supports the Marine Corps' tactical and operational needs for close air support in austere conditions and locations that may be inaccessible to traditional fighters. Thanks to its short takeoff and vertical landing capabilities, the F-35B can operate from expeditionary airfields in remote, non-permissive environments with shorter runways, contributing to the Marine Corps' role as the nation's expeditionary force-in-readiness.
