This head‑on image of a U.S. Air Force Lockheed Martin F‑35A Lightning II in formation at USAFE Days 2023 shows vapor trails and aerodynamic surfaces on display during an air‑to‑air flight. The F‑35A is a fifth‑generation stealth multirole fighter powered by a Pratt & Whitney F135‑PW‑100 afterburning turbofan engine. It integrates advanced avionics, sensor fusion, and weapons systems for both air superiority and strike missions in coalition operations.
