Douglas Cole, 510th Fighter Squadron pilot, flies an F-16 Fighting Falcon, assigned to the 309th Fighter Squadron, out of Luke Air Force Base for the final time, March 4, 2025, over Luke AFB, Arizona. The phased retirement of F-16s aligns with broader Air Force efforts to prioritize advanced airpower capabilities. Luke AFB’s full shift to the F-35A Lightning II ensures its role as the primary training hub for fifth-generation fighter pilots. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Mason Hargrove)
