495 FGS F-35A Nose Art by – Squadron Posters!
The 495th Fighter Generation Squadron (495th FGS), affectionately known as the “Valkyries,” has a distinguished history rooted in its origins as the 495th Aircraft Maintenance Unit (495th AMU), formerly a component of the esteemed 748th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron (748th AMXS) stationed at RAF Lakenheath, United Kingdom. Upon its reactivation on October 1, 2021, under the banner of the 495th Aircraft Maintenance Unit (495 AMU), it marked a significant milestone as the pioneering overseas United States Air Force squadron entrusted with the operation of the Lockheed Martin F – 35A Lightning II, commencing operations on December 15, 2021. The transition was precipitated by the discontinuation of the 748th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron (AMXS) on June 9, 2023, heralding the genesis of the esteemed 495th FGS, a testament to its enduring legacy and unwavering commitment to excellence in aerial operations.
Royal Air Force Lakenheath or RAF Lakenheath is a Royal Air Force station near the village of Lakenheath in Suffolk, England, UK, 4.7 miles (7.6 km) north-east of Mildenhall and 8.3 miles (13.4 km) west of Thetford. The installation’s perimeter borders Brandon. Despite being an RAF station, Lakenheath currently only hosts United States Air Force units and military personnel. The host wing is the 48th Fighter Wing, also known as the Liberty Wing, assigned to United States Air Forces in Europe – Air Forces Africa. The wing operates the F-15E Strike Eagle and the F-35A Lightning II. Check out this stunning 495 FGS F-35A Nose Art by – Squadron Posters!
