A U.S. F-35A assigned to the 495th Fighter Squadron from Royal Air Force Lakenheath, England, refuels from a KC-135 Stratotanker from the 100th Air Refueling Wing over the North Sea, Jan. 13, 2022. The 48th Fighter Wing conducts routine training with mission partners to help enhance the skills needed to support the National Defense Strategy.

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.
