U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Riley McDonald, 56th Equipment Maintenance Squadron non-destructive inspection journeyman, prepares for an inspection on a F-35A Lightning II, Feb. 17, 2026, at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona. The F-35 undergoes repeated takeoffs, landings, and high-performance maneuvers during daily training operations. Routine and specialized inspections conducted by NDI Airmen help to detect early signs of material fatigue before they become major structural issues.
