U.S. Air Force F-35As, assigned to the 495th Fighter Squadron, Royal Air Force Lakenheath, arrive for the first time at Ørland Air Station, Norway, to practice Cross-Servicing techniques with Norwegian partners, Jan. 27, 2022. Training such as this, enables interoperability between NATO allies to have their manned aircraft serviced at partner airfields.

The F-35 Joint Program Office is the Department of Defense's focal point for the 5th generation strike aircraft for the Navy, Air Force, Marines, and our allies. The F-35 is the premier multi-mission, 5th generation weapon system. Its ability to collect, analyze and share data is a force multiplier that enhances all assets in the battle-space: with stealth technology, advanced sensors, weapons capacity, and range. The F-35, which has been operational since July of 2015, is the most lethal, survivable, and interoperable fighter aircraft ever built.
