Luke Air Force Base leadership, family members and community members stand for the playing of the National Anthem during the final 309th Fighter Squadron graduation for F-16 Fighting Falcon pilots, Sept. 20, 2024, at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona. After nearly five decades as a training hub for F-16 pilots, the 56th Fighter Wing is shifting exclusively to F-35A Lightning II training. The F-35A is the U.S. Air Force’s latest fifth-generation fighter that will replace the fleet of aging F-16s and A-10 Thunderbolt II’s. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Katelynn Jackson)
