This is definitely not something you see every

day...or ever! An F-35A holds formation, albeit

briefly, with a USCG Jayhawk over Torch Lake, MI.

The rendezvous was challenging as there is a great

disparity in speeds between the two aircraft as this

photo was taken. As far as we know, this is the

world's first formation photograph of an F-35 with

a Jayhawk.

kind mission over the next several pages.
