U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. James Woods, from Louisiana, an air-traffic controller with Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron, Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, stands guard 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 Staff Sgt. Maximiliano Rosas)
