U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Tyler Keener, U.S. Air Force Demonstration Squadron Thunderbirds director of operations and advanced pilot No. 7, prepares to take off with Asa Paguia, Peoria Fire-Medical Department captain and Luke Days hometown hero, in the back seat, prior to their flight in the U.S. Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcon assigned to the U.S. Air Force Demonstration team, “Thunderbirds,” during the Luke Days airshow on March 20, 2026, at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona. Experiences like hometown hero flights bring together service members and communities help reinforce support for the mission of the joint force. The event showcased the aircraft, equipment and personnel whose skill and discipline ensure the United States Joint Forces remain ready to project airpower whenever called upon.
