Some of our personnel had the opportunity to interact with operational F-35 squadrons from the United States Marine Corps (USMC) and the United States Air Force (USAF) recently. These visits and joint training are a key part of the RSAF’s F-35 evaluation efforts.

During a study visit hosted by the USAF at Eglin Air Force Base, the team toured various F-35 facilities to observe the conduct of F-35 operations, and held engineering and maintenance discussions. Our F-16 fighter aircraft from Peace Carvin II (PC II) detachment also participated in joint training with the USMC F-35B aircraft at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma.

Opportunities to physically observe engineering and maintenance practices, and train together with the F-35 aircraft provide valuable insight into the employment of the F-35Bs and how the RSAF can better integrate the F-35s into its warfighting concepts.
