The perfect backdrop!

Marines with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 251 held their reactivation ceremony at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina.

This ceremony marks a significant milestone as VMFA-251 becomes the first east coast-based Marine Corps squadron to operate the F-35C Lightning II.

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.
