F-35C Lightning II VFA-125 Rough Raiders, NJ406, 169160 / 2018 The exercise featured F-35I Adir aircraft from IAF’s 140 Golden Eagle Squadron training alongside F-35As the USAF’s 34th fighter squadron, as well as IAF’s 122 squadron which operates the Nahshon Gulfstream G-500 aircraft. Maj. M, leader of the exercise on behalf of the 140 Squadron, was quoted by the IAF’s website as saying that “this will be the second time we’ll fly alongside an American F-35. We aspire to stay as connected as possible to countries involved in its development project, and training with the Americans presents an excellent opportunity to do so since they have a lot of knowledge and expertise on the matter. The exercise we conducted was intimate. The forces flew in two formations of four, and communicated directly as opposed to through an indirect channel.” Despite the cancellation of all international joint exercises because of the continued spread of the deadly coronavirus across the globe, the drill had received special permission as it was due to take part in the air with no person-to-person contact.
