A few more general equivalents may be of help. I wouldn't venture to offer slang terms, because these go out of date very quickly and my info is well out of date. But here are a few more random general terms (US first)

Flight suit - flying suit
Base commander - station commander
Visor cap - SD cap
214th squadron - 214 squadron
Afterburner - reheat (but that may have changed since "my day")
Enlisted men - other ranks (or more commonly airmen in the case of the RAF)

There will be lots more which others can suggest, without having the specialised F35 experience you mention
