Officially Licensed US Navy VFA-97 Warhawks F-35 Sticker — Fifth-Generation Strike Power From the Carrier Deck
The Warhawks don’t just fly the F-35C. They’re helping write the playbook for how the Navy fights with it.
Strike Fighter Squadron 97 (VFA-97) — the ‘Warhawks’ — is bringing the F-35C Lightning II to the carrier air wing from Naval Air Station Lemoore, California. The F-35C is the United States Navy’s first stealth strike fighter, designed from the ground up for carrier operations with features that make it uniquely suited to the demanding environment of the flight deck — including a larger wing area for slower approach speeds and greater fuel capacity, a strengthened airframe for catapult launches and arrested landings, and foldable wingtips for storage in the carrier’s hangar bay. The F-35C brings capabilities that no previous Navy fighter has possessed: true low-observable stealth, advanced sensor fusion that merges radar, electronic warfare, and electro-optical data into a single integrated picture, the ability to share that picture in real time with every other platform in the strike group, and an electronic warfare suite that can jam, deceive, and destroy enemy air defense systems. The Warhawks’ transition to the F-35C represents the future of Navy carrier aviation — a future where stealth and information dominance replace raw speed and payload as the primary measures of fighter effectiveness. This F-35 sticker captures the Warhawks at the leading edge of that transformation, flying the most advanced strike fighter ever launched from a carrier deck.
Perfect For: VFA-97 Warhawks aircrew and maintainers, F-35C Lightning II pilots and ground crew, NAS Lemoore personnel, carrier aviation enthusiasts, and anyone who wants to represent the future of Navy strike fighter aviation.
