FRCE declares capabilities on next round of F-35 components
Kristopher Kirksey, a quality assurance specialist at Fleet Readiness Center East (FRCE), and Jeff Ellman, FRCE ordinance and survival shop work leader, inspect an ejection seat parachute for the F-35B Lightning II. FRCE has expanded its support of next-generation naval aviation by declaring capabilities on a new round of F-35 components including these parachutes. These capabilities build upon the 17 F-35 components the depot previously declared capabilities on in 2020.
