This image captures three F-35A Lightning II jets of the U.S. Air Forces in Europe in formation flight during air‑to‑air operations at USAFE Days 2023. Each aircraft is a fifth‑generation, single‑engine multirole fighter with a Pratt & Whitney F135‑PW‑100 engine producing high thrust. Visible vapour trails indicate aerodynamic flow over wings in humid air as pilots maintain tight formation for the aerial demonstration.
