U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Ryan S. Rideout, commanding general, 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, watches as the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing Band performs at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, June 3, 2026. The “sundown” of the AV-8B Harrier II, an iconic aircraft that has supported joint and Marine Corps operations for over 40 years, also represents the dawn of a new era; it paves the way for 2nd MAW’s full transition to the F-35B and C Lightning II. VMA-223 is the U.S. Marine Corps' last operational Harrier squadron. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Michael Robinson)
