It’s a lonely day to be an F-35
Marines New Fighter Jet
The second F-35B Joint Strike Fighter to call Marine Corps Air Station in Yuma, Ariz., home holds its nose gear in the air as it touches down on the tarmac Tuesday afternoon, Nov. 20, 2012 at the conclusion of a re-designation ceremony for Marine Attack Fighter Squadron 121, now known as the Green Knights. Sen. John McCain on Tuesday welcomed the Marine Corps' first squadron of pilots who are being called upon to fly the branch's version of the next-generation F-35 fighter jet out of its long and troubled testing phase.
