U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Michael Ress, 309th Fighter Squadron commander, smiles at a 309th FS Airman during his pre-flight brief, Feb. 26, 2025, at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona. This flight marked the 309th FS’s last F-16 Fighting Falcon sortie at Luke AFB as the 56th Fighter Wing officially transforms its mission and focus on training pilots from the legacy F-16 to the F-35A Lightning II, the U.S. Air Force’s latest fifth-generation fighter. The 56th FW’s mission is essential to generating combat airpower. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Katelynn Jackson)
