U.K. Royal Air Force Sqn. Ldr. Jim Schofield touches down in an F-35 Lightning II at Eglin's 33rd Fighter Wing Oct. 19. This second United Kingdom F-35B at Eglin will be imbedded in the Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron 501. It will be used for pilot and maintainer training and for the United Kingdom to conduct operational test and evaluation. The F-35 incorporates a wide range of new technologies for stealth, multi-mission capabilities, and sustainability. The U.K. aircraft are imbedded in the Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron 501, and are used by both countries to conduct F-35 training. Accompanied by a U.S. F-35B, there are now 13 B variants of the joint strike fighter at the Marine squadron. Combined with the nine A variants flown by the Air Force, Eglin is the largest fleet of F-35s in the world. Later this month, an RAF and RN pilot will begin instructor pilot training, making them the first international pilots trained at Eglin on the fifth-generation, multi-role fighter.
