A U.S. Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcon assigned to the 13th Fighter Squadron departs for the last time at Misawa Air Base, Japan, Sept. 2, 2025. Following more than 40 years at Misawa, the F-16s are being relocated in line with a Department of Defense plan to advance capabilities in the Indo-Pacific. Divesting F-16s and permanently stationing F-35 Lightning IIs strengthens the 35th Fighter Wing’s deterrence posture and sharpens its regional response capabilities.
