An F-35B Lightning II with the F-35B detachment of Medium Marine Tiltrotor Squadron 262 (Reinforced) lands aboard the USS Wasp (LHD 1), Philippine Sea, Jan. 31, 2019. Naval Aviators with the detachment fly the Marine Corps’ newest, most advanced multi-role fighter, the F-35B. This marked the first time operational F-35Bs executed flight operations aboard the Wasp with a full complement of external pylons mounted on the aircraft. The 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, the Marine Corps’ only continuously forward-deployed MEU partnering with Wasp ARG, provides a flexible and lethal force ready to perform a wide range of military operations as the premier crisis response force in the Indo-Pacific region.
