The F-35 Unites!

F-35A Lightning II aircraft assigned to the Vermont Air National Guard's 158th Fighter Wing deploy to Kadena Air Base, Japan, to enhance regional security and strengthen interoperability with joint and allied forces.

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.
