SAPPORO, Japan (Feb. 2, 2025) – An F-35C Lightning II fighter jet snow sculpture made by U.S. Navy personnel from Naval Air Facility Misawa and Commander, Task Force 70 is seen before the opening of the 75th Annual Sapporo Snow Festival. Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 147 became the first squadron of U.S. Navy F-35C aircraft to be forward-deployed to Japan when it arrived in November 2024. Approximately two million visitors from around the globe visit the festival each year to see hundreds of snow and ice sculptures. This is the 40th year the U.S. Navy has participated in the festival, allowing Sailors a unique opportunity to experience Japanese culture and tradition while strengthening the close friendship between the U.S. Navy and citizens of Japan.
