Two U.S. Air Force Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning II aircraft fly in close formation during an air-to-air mission over Europe as part of USAFE Days 2023. The single-seat, fifth-generation multirole fighters display visible vapor trails while maneuvering at altitude. The F-35A is powered by a Pratt & Whitney F135 afterburning turbofan engine and features stealth shaping, internal weapons bays, advanced sensors, and networked avionics designed for air superiority and precision strike operations.
