Air Force Reserve to Base 24 F-35A Lightning II Jets at Homestead, Florida
The U.S. Air Force Reserve Command has officially selected Homestead Air Reserve Base in Florida to host a squadron of 24 F-35A Lightning II aircraft. This decision finalizes the process to replace the base's aging F-16C/D Fighting Falcons. The transition is a key part of the Air Force's broader modernization strategy. The new fifth-generation fighters are expected to begin arriving at the South Florida base in late 2025. This move enhances the combat readiness and technological capabilities of the Air Force Reserve at a strategic location.
