The Commander of the USAF’s Air Force Operational Test and Evaluation Center (AFOTEC), Brig. Gen. Trey “Lou” Rawls has become the first general officer to be certified as a fifth-generation aggressor pilot on the F-35A Lightning II aircraft with the 65th AGRS.

66th Brigade (People's Republic of China)
Military unit
The 66th Brigade (Chinese: 空军航空兵第六十六旅; pinyin: Kōngjūn Hángkōngbīng Dì Liùshíliù Lǚ), also known as the 66th OPFOR Brigade or 66th Blue Brigade (66旅蓝军旅; 66 Lǚ Lán Jūnlǚ) is an air formation of the People's Republic of China (PRC). The 66th Brigade serves as an aggressor unit designed to simulate adversarial air combat forces in training. Appearing to be the only such opposing force (OPFOR) unit of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF), the unit can be compared to the aggressor squadrons of the United States and Canada. The unit is garrisoned at Cangxian Air Base in Hebei Province and reports to the Air Force Flight Test and Evaluation Center, itself subordinate to the Air Force Flight Test and Training Base (FTTB).
