This slide show of Selfridge AFB has been going around in emails along with being on a few web sites that pertains to the history of Selfridge Base. Well I decided to change the history of Selfridge and add the Navy to it since it was left out in the original slide show. So here is the "real" history of Selfridge that does include the NAVY. Yep, we were there too and proud of it!!!

The Battle of Midway is considered to be one of the most important naval battles of World War 2. The battle saw the Empire of Japan and United States Navy fight between June 4th and June 7th, 1942 and resulted in a major victory for the United States and Allied Powers. Soon after Midway, the Allies would go on the offensive against Imperial Japan.

The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II, or Joint Strike Fighter (JSF), is a single-seat, single-engine, multi-role stealth fighter with awesome capabilities. This aircraft was created to play a central role in the United States’ air dominance strategy in the upcoming decades, and although some fighters have been delivered, they are still in the testing phases. The F-35 is classified as a 5th Generation fighter, and it features a range of technological advancements that give it a significant advantage over 4th Generation aircraft and other threats.
