Air Force Heritage Flight pilot Steven Hinton prepares a P-38 Lightning for takeoff during the 2025 Marine Corps Air Station Miramar Air Show in San Diego, Sept. 26, 2025. Maintaining and flying a World War II-era aircraft requires meticulous care from pilots and maintenance crews to ensure every system performs safely and reliably. Through the Heritage Flight program, Hinton and his team preserve the legacy of American aviation while giving spectators a firsthand look at the dedication and skill needed to keep these historic fighters in the air.
