History:
The Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II is a stealth multirole fighter designed for short take-off and vertical landing operations. It is the most advanced combat aircraft in service with the United States Marine Corps, replacing older platforms such as the AV-8B Harrier II. VMFA-121, the “Green Knights”, became the first operational squadron to field the F-35B in 2012 and later deployed to Japan, marking a new era of Marine Corps aviation. With its advanced stealth, sensor fusion, and versatility, the F-35B enhances expeditionary operations and provides unmatched strike capabilities across modern conflicts.
