The F-35B Lightning II, flown by Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 242 (VMFA-242) “Bats,” is a versatile fifth-generation stealth fighter used by the U.S. Marine Corps. The F-35B is unique for its short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL) capability, making it ideal for operations from amphibious assault ships and austere forward bases. VMFA-242, based in Hawaii, is one of the first Marine Corps squadrons to operate the F-35B, providing enhanced air superiority, strike, and intelligence capabilities. The squadron’s role includes close air support, precision strikes, and anti-air warfare, making the F-35B a game-changer for modern naval aviation and expeditionary warfare.
