Meet the team behind the performance. Maj. Sean "RAMBO" Loughlin is the Commander and Demonstration Pilot of the F-35A Demo Team. As the demonstration pilot, he represents the U.S. Air Force while showcasing the F-35A's role in global deterrence, interoperability, and combat readiness.

Every maneuver highlights the incredible capabilities of one of the world's most advanced fifth-gun fighters and the Airmen who keep it flying. This is one demonstration you won't want to miss.
