The 354th Operations Group (OG) at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, operates the F-35A Lightning II under the 355th and 356th Fighter Squadrons. The squadrons support Pacific Air Forces (PACAF), enhancing Arctic and Indo-Pacific defense. Eielson's F-35As participate in Red Flag-Alaska, providing advanced training in high-end combat scenarios. Positioned near the Arctic, the 354th OG ensures rapid power projection and combat readiness in the region. These aircraft integrate with joint and allied forces, leveraging stealth, sensor fusion, and electronic warfare capabilities to dominate contested environments, reinforcing deterrence and U.S. strategic interests in the Pacific. Designed to meet the US Military's requirement for a multi-role Joint Strike Fighter, the F-35 was first flown on December 15, 2006. This single-seat fighter is one of the most advanced aircraft of our time, said to be four times more effective at air-to-air combat and eight times more effective at air-to-ground combat than any other existing aircraft. It uses a low-maintenance stealth technology, and some versions have an innovative Lift System, which gives the F-35 vertical take-off and landing capabilities. The US plans to buy a total of 2,443 F-35s at a cost of $323 billion, which makes the F-35 the most expensive defense program in history. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
