VMFA-214 F-35s participate in exercise Steel Knight
F-35 Joint Program Office
Dec. 8, 2024 | 0:10
Practice makes perfect

F-35B Lightning II aircraft assigned to Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 214 participated in exercise Steel Knight at San Clemente Island, California.

This annual exercise, held in various locations across the Southwest, enables joint and naval forces to better integrate on missions.

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.
