Why the U.S. Keeps Landing Its Advanced F-35 on Public Highways

Today’s feature highlights United States Marine Corps conducting a distributed aviation operation as an F-35B Lightning II lands on a highway for rapid rearming and refueling with support from an MV-22B Osprey and Marine logistics teams. The exercise demonstrates how Marines can sustain fifth-generation aircraft from temporary operating locations when traditional airfields are unavailable or degraded. Ground crews quickly refuel the aircraft, reload mission equipment, and perform essential inspections while maintaining close coordination with security and support personnel. The MV-22 Osprey delivers personnel, supplies, and critical equipment, enabling the F-35B to return to flight operations in the shortest possible time. This training showcases the Marine Corps’ expeditionary approach to aviation, emphasizing mobility, rapid logistics, and the ability to generate combat-ready airpower from dispersed locations in challenging environments.
