309th Fighter Squadron student pilots pose for a photo, Aug. 15, 2024, at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona. This class of pilots marks the end of F-16 training at Luke AFB as the aircraft is gradually phased out and replaced by the F-35 Lightning II. The transition reflects Luke’s focus on advancing next-generation airpower while continuing its mission of training the world’s greatest fighter pilots and combat-ready Airmen.
