VMFA-251, also known as the "Thunderbolts," was the first Marine Corps squadron to receive the F-35C, the carrier-based variant of the F-35. The F-35C enhances the squadron's capabilities with its stealth, advanced avionics, and multi-role versatility, making it effective in both air-to-air and air-to-ground combat. VMFA-251's F-35Cs are primarily deployed aboard aircraft carriers, supporting U.S. Navy and Marine Corps operations with advanced strike capabilities and superior situational awareness. 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.
