    Capt. Ryosuke Sugimoto, a Japanese Air Self-Defense Force F-35 pilot, secures himself in an ejection seat to ensure his new flight gear fits properly, with assistance from a fitter at the pilot fit facility, Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, May 22, 2024. This process is essential for verifying the suit’s effectiveness and comfort during flight. Sugimoto was the 1,000th F-35 pilot fitted at the PFF, marking a significant milestone in the facility’s history. (U.S. Air Force photo by 1st Lt. Jymil Licorish)
