A United Kingdom F-35B Lightning II flies alongside a Navy F-35C, a Marine Corps F-35B, and an Air Force F-35A from the 33rd Fighter Wing in the skies above Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. May 21. The F-35s at Eglin AFB surpassed 5,000 combined training sorties May 28, contributing more than a third of all sorties in the Department of Defense program. The 33rd FW F-35 Integrated Training Center trains F-35 A/B/C Lightning II pilots, maintainers, air battle managers and intelligence personnel for the Marine Corps, the Navy, the Air Force and, in the future, at least eight international partners.
