The 309th Fighter Squadron emblem is presented on the back of an F-16 Fighting Falcon, during the final 309th FS 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. This change will involve updating programs, remodeling infrastructure, and dismantling F-16 equipment to prepare for F-35 operations. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Katelynn Jackson)
