During exercise Point Blank 25-1 at RAF Lakenheath, UK, F-35 Lightning II aircraft from the U.S. Air Force's 495th and 493rd Fighter Squadrons and the Royal Air Force conducted hot-pit refueling exercises.

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.
