U.S. Marines with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 211
Summary
U.S. Marines with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 211 (VMFA-211) and U.S. Marines with Marine Aviation Weapons and
Tactics Squadron One (MAWTS-1) conduct a hot load on the F-35B Lightning II
during Weapons and Tactics Instructor Course (WTI) 2-17 at Marine Corps Air
Station Yuma, Ariz., March 30, 2017. The ordnance loading exercise focused
on loading the aircraft while the pilot is onboard and the engine is running
which provides the Marine Corps with a capability to project Marine air
power forward on the battlefield while decreasing aircraft turnaround time
and increasing sortie generation. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Staff Sgt.
