Summary
Lemoore’s push for seven more F-35C Lightning II jets is gaining serious momentum, with local leaders, Congressmen, and community groups rallying behind the Navy’s biggest fighter base. These high-speed, stealth-packed jets could soon call Lemoore home—thanks to its massive 20,000-acre footprint, existing infrastructure, and strong community ties, including a councilmember whose kid plays baseball with an F-35 pilot. Recent federal investments of over $72 million for upgrades and a new F-35 hangar signal serious commitment. With nearly 30 local governments backing the effort and the base already fueling $950 million in economic impact and 8,000 jobs, this isn’t just about jets—it’s about securing Lemoore’s future.
