F-35C Lightning II • Flight Deck Operations • USS Abraham Lincoln

2020-08-22 13

F-35C Lightning II, from the “Grim Reapers” of Strike Fighter Squadron 101 (VFA 101), lands and launches on the flight deck of the Nimitz—class aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72).

Abraham Lincoln is underway conducting training after successful completion of carrier incremental availability.

The F-35C combines this unique capability of operating from a carrier deck with the unmatched 5th Generation capabilities of stealth, fused sensors and reliability, making the F-35C the Navy’s future first-day-of-the-war strike fighter.
