Bombs away for F-35A
A U.S. Air Force weapons load crew assigned to the 33rd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron transports a live GBU-12 to an F-35A January 18, 2017, at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. The 33rd Fighter Wing loaded and released the Air Education and Training Command’s first live bombs from an F-35A. Six aircraft were loaded with armed GBU-12s, and two bombs were released over the Eglin Air Force Base range. The F-35 can carry a combined payload of 2.3K pounds of Air-to-Air and Air-to-Ground munitions internally, with an extended capacity of munitions on each wing. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.
