Throughout the years, aerial warfare technology has evolved far beyond what the Air Force’s founders could have ever imagined. Now Nellis Air Force Base welcomes the newest link in a long legacy of air superiority: the F-35A Lightning II.
Nellis celebrated the F-35’s arrival with a special welcome ceremony. More than five hundred attended including Major General Jeff Lofgren, Commander of the United States Air Force Warfare Center, and Air Commodore Stuart Evans, the Commandant of the United Kingdom Air Warfare Center. After the ceremony, Major General Lofgren talked about the effects of the F-35 on the mission at Nellis Air Force Base.
(Major General Jeff Lofgren – USAFWFC/CC)
Well from a capability standpoint, the F-35 brings to us unparalleled integration of avionics and stealth and the ability to, no kidding, penetrate into a hostile environment and accomplish the mission of striking different targets.
The F-35A Lightning II is a fifth generation multirole fighter and is destined to replace both the F-16 and the A-10. It is a Joint, international and interoperable program designed to complement the Air Force’s F-22 Raptor. Senior Airman Aaron Hauser, Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada. Available in High Definition.
