Air Force F-35A and Marine Corps F-35B Lightning II taxi before taking off July 18, 2017, at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev. The 33rd Fighter Wing and Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 211 from Yuma, Ariz., participated in the first combat exercise with Air Force F-35As and Marine Corps F-35Bs operating simultaneously during Red Flag 17-3. The large scale exercise, which was developed to provide pilots with critical experience in combat situations, enabled F-35 pilots to plan and train using the same tactics, techniques and procedures.
