Pilots and maintainers in the 421st Fighter Squadron launch and fly the F-35A Lightning II in their first Red Flag together.
The exercise, from Jan. 27-Feb. 15, is meant to give at least 10 combat-representative sorties to younger pilots to better prepare them for real combat against very capable adversaries.
The 421st Fighter Squadron is the most recent squadron to transition to the F-35A in the 388th Fighter Wing
