The 65th Aggressor Squadron was deactivated in September 2014 but on June 9, 2022 it was reactivated and assigned to the 57th Operations Group at Nellis AFB equipped with F-35As. The first aircraft was 11-5021/WA that was previously assigned to the 422nd TES. With the growing threat from China it was decided it was necessary to increase number of aggressor bases. The F-35As will participate in major military exercises, US Air Force Weapons School missions, joint exercises, and operational test and evaluation programs.
The Lockheed F-35 Lightning II is a fifth generation multi-role fighter aircraft that combines radar evading stealth technology with supersonic speed and extreme agility. The three variants of the Lightning II are the F-35A, B, and C. The F-35A is the conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) variant. It features two internal weapons bays and six external hardpoints for mounting a variety of weapons under the wings plus an internal 25 mm cannon. The F-35B is the short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL) variant while the F-35C is the carrier-based variant. It was designed to replace the U.S. Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcon, U.S. Navy F/A-18 Hornet and the U.S. Marine Corps F/A-18 Hornet and AV-8 Harrier II. The F-35 was first flown on December 15, 2006.
