About the 159th Fighter Squadron

Tired of winters, paying state income taxes, and/or flying aging 4th gen fighters? Do you enjoy the beach, surfing, fishing, racing, NFL football (the Jags, but still), minor league baseball/hockey, concerts, Disney World...and flying fighters in some of the best airspace in the world? Join the Boxin' Gators!

F-35 conversion completion in 2025. UPT hires will go to F-35 training. Rated hires will need to be current/qualified F-35 pilots due to a lack of F-35 transition slots available.
