The 33rd Fighter Wing (33 FW) is a USAF unit assigned to Air Education and Training Command’s (AETC) Nineteenth Air Force at Eglin AFB, FL where they are a tenant and training unit. Its main mission is to train USAF and partner nation pilots and maintainers on the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II. When the wing was initially assigned the F-35 training mission on 1 October 2009, it was to include USN/USMC F-35C and USMC F-35B training as well as USAF F-35A and international partner training. This is the color version of the 33FW patch for the squadrons stationed at Eglin AFB and DOES come with velcro attached.
