U.S. Marine Corps Lt. Col. John B. Cumbie, left, a native of Texas and the commanding officer of Marine Attack Squadron (VMA) 223, Marine Aircraft Group 14, 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, and Cpl. Myles J. Howard a native of Georgia, a fixed-wing aircraft mechanic, also with VMA-223, speak in front of an AV-8B Harrier II 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. Donovan Pimentel)
