via Theaviationist

The US Marine Corps' VMFA-115 squadron has taken its first flight with the F-35C, marking a step towards its reactivation as an F-35C squadron. The squadron was previously disbanded after flying legacy F/A-18C/D Hornets. Reactivation is expected later this year.

Why it matters

The reactivation of VMFA-115 with F-35C capabilities enhances the USMC's airpower and modernization efforts, providing advanced stealth and multirole capabilities.
