A P-38 Lightning, flown by Air Force Heritage Flight pilot Steven Hinton, soars above the flight line during the 2025 Marine Corps Air Station Miramar Air Show in San Diego, Sept. 26, 2025. The P-38, a twin-engine World War II fighter known for its versatility in combat, reconnaissance, and long-range missions, is flown by Hinton as part of the Heritage Flight program, which pairs historic aircraft with modern fighters to preserve and celebrate the legacy of American aviation. Hinton, an accomplished air racer and world speed record holder for piston-powered aircraft, brings both skill and historical insight to these demonstrations. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.
