U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Joseph Leitner, from Pennsylvania, Communication Strategy and Operations director, 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, oversees media operations during the Marine Attack Squadron (VMA) 223 Harrier “sundown” ceremony 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)
