    Two military aircraft are flying in formation against an overcast sky, representing approximately 80 years of aviation advancement. The upper aircraft is a World War II-era Lockheed P-38 Lightning with twin-boom configuration, marked with the number 162 and U.S. star insignia. The lower aircraft is a modern Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter jet, creating a deliberate heritage formation pairing of the two 'Lightning' aircraft.

    A U.S. Air Force F-35A Lightning II, assigned to the F-35A Lightning II Demonstration Team, flies alongside a vintage P-38 Lightning during a heritage flight formation at the Columbus Air Show, Rickenbacker Air National Guard Base, Columbus, Ohio, June 21, 2026. Heritage flights are symbolic aerial performances that pair modern fifth-generation fighters with historic warbirds to showcase the past, present, and future of American aviation history and air power.

    A dark-colored fifth-generation stealth fighter jet, consistent with an F-35 Lightning II, is captured at low altitude just above a runway during takeoff or a high-speed pass. The image uses a panning photography technique, creating motion blur in the background while keeping the aircraft relatively sharp. The aircraft appears to carry unit markings on its tail fin.
    A panning-shot photograph captures an F-35A Lightning II fighter jet at low altitude during a high-speed takeoff or low pass over a runway. The tail code 'TY' and serial number '5804' are visible, indicating assignment to Tyndall Air Force Base. A red pickup truck is visible in the foreground, also motion-blurred, providing scale and context to the aircraft's speed.
    A dark-colored fifth-generation stealth fighter jet, consistent with an F-35 Lightning II, is captured in a steep climbing maneuver against a pale blue sky. The aircraft's single engine is visibly producing afterburner thrust, with an orange flame and white exhaust plume trailing behind. The canopy appears to have a reddish-purple tint, typical of modern fighter jet canopy coatings.
    A dark-colored fifth-generation stealth fighter jet is photographed from above at a steep angle, appearing to perform a high-performance maneuver. The aircraft's single engine is visibly lit with afterburner flame, indicating high thrust output. The overall composition and aircraft design are consistent with an F-35 Lightning II.

    Two military aircraft are flying in formation against a partly cloudy sky. The formation pairs a modern F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter jet with a World War II-era propeller-driven aircraft, likely a P-38 Lightning or similar twin-boom design. This appears to be an airshow heritage flight demonstrating the evolution of American air power.
