Joint Strike Fighter Wing (JSFW) (aka Joint Strike Fighter Wing, Pacific, and JSFWING) is the U.S. Navy's Fifth-generation fighter squadron wing. It oversees 4 squadrons that all fly the F-35C Lightning II. The wing, based at Naval Air Station Lemoore in California, is also home to the West Coast F-35C Fleet Replacement Squadron (FRS) VFA-125, which is the only F-35C FRS in the US Navy. It trains pilots in the jet before they get to be assigned to operational fleet squadrons.
