F-35C Completes First Deployment

The first-ever operational deployment of an F-35C Joint Strike Fighter squadron returned home this week. The Carrier Air Wing 2 with the aircraft carrier Carl Vinson Strike Group worked with a detachment of CMV-22 Ospreys as the carrier onboard delivery aircraft, two additional EA-18G Growlers and one additional E-2D Advanced Hawkeye aircraft for “seamless integration.”
