    U.S. Air Force Capt. Jacob Willenbrock, 14th Fighter Squadron F-16 Fighting Falcon pilot, and Senior Airman John Durkin, 13th Fighter Generation Squadron crew chief, complete pre-flight inspections before divestment at Misawa Air Base, Japan, Sept. 2, 2025. The 13th Fighter Squadron’s former aircraft are being relocated as part of a $10 billion modernization plan to strengthen the U.S.-Japan Alliance. The implementation of F-35 Lightning IIs in the place of F-16s provides the Misawa Air Base’s joint ground forces freedom from attack and freedom to maneuver while simultaneously holding the adversary’s most heavily defended targets at risk.
