Power. Precision. Stealth.

The USAF F-35A Lightning II Demonstration Team, led by Major Melanie “MACH” Kluesner, showcases the raw speed, stealth, and agility of the Air Force’s most advanced multi-role fighter.

Stationed at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, this 13 member team doesn’t just fly — they command attention. The F-35A’s 43,000 pounds of thrust and cutting-edge stealth tech make it nearly untouchable in the sky. Designed for precision strikes, superior visibility, and unmatched situational awareness, the F-35A is built to outfly, outfight, and outlast.

From afterburner climbs to head-spinning turns, every move in the demo highlights next-gen airpower and honors the Air Force’s rich heritage through legacy formation flights.

When MACH and her team hit the skies over Huntington Beach, get ready for the performance of a lifetime.
