A new F-35C Lightning II aircraft with an unusual “mirror” fairing assigned to the 125th Fighter Strike Squadron (VFA) was seen arriving to land on an aircraft carrier. The ship was in the Pacific Ocean at the time.
Very interesting photos of an F-35C landing on USS Abraham Lincoln off the coast of California yesterday.
The jet’s tails and wings are equipped with the mirror-like coating previously seen on other F-35s (as well as F-22s and F-117s). I think this is the first…

According to the news of The Aviationist portal, for the first time an F-35 with “mirror” coating is seen on an aircraft carrier. It is believed that the fairing serves to reduce the aircraft’s visibility.
Even more interesting is that the aircraft was photographed taking off on November 30, 2023, from USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72), which departed San Diego earlier that day and is currently on routine operations in the Pacific.
At least to our knowledge, this is the first time this exotic F-35 plan has been seen in a carrier environment.
