In this head‑on close‑up at USAFE Days 2023, a U.S. Air Force Lockheed Martin F‑35A Lightning II flies in precision formation with clear vapour trails. The aircraft is a fifth‑generation stealth multirole fighter powered by a single Pratt & Whitney F135‑PW‑100 afterburning turbofan engine. Integrated avionics and sensor fusion systems support situational awareness and coordinated air‑to‑air and air‑to‑ground tasks.
