U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Michael Ress, 309th Fighter Squadron commander, is sprayed with water by his family after completing the final F-16 Fighting Falcon flight of the 309th FS, Feb. 26, 2025, at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona. This marked the 309th FS’s last F-16 flight at Luke AFB as the 56th Fighter Wing transforms its mission to focus on training U.S. pilots from the legacy F-16 to the F-35A Lightning II, the U.S. Air Force’s premiere fifth-generation fighter. The 56th FW’s mission is essential to generating combat airpower. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Jakob Hambright)
