U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Joseph Pasko (right), commander of the Florida Air National Guard’s 159th Fighter Squadron, shakes hands with a tactical aircraft maintainer (left) assigned to the 125th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron after landing in one of the unit’s first permanently assigned F-35A Lightning II aircraft at Jacksonville Air National Guard Base, Florida, July 9, 2025. The delivery marks a major milestone in the wing’s conversion from the F-15C/D Eagle to the fifth-generation F-35A Lightning II, reinforcing the Air National Guard’s role in providing integrated, combat-ready airpower.
