A U.S. Air Force fighter pilot assigned to the Florida Air National Guard's 159th Fighter Squadron walks towards the flightline prior to a sortie during sortie generation exercise at Jacksonville Air National Guard Base, Florida, Dec. 2, 2025. As one of the newest U.S. Air Force wings to maintain the F-35A Lightning II aircraft, the most capable fighter jet in the world, the unit executed a sortie generation exercise aimed to prepare a specified number of aircraft in the shortest possible time, sustaining wartime sortie rates for a period of days and showcasing the unit's ability to fight and win by generating combat air power when called upon.
