The 115th Fighter Wing’s final F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft departed Truax Field, Madison, Wisconsin Oct. 5, 2022 following a sendoff ceremony commemorating their 30-year service at Truax Field. During the ceremony local state and military leaders gathered with 115th Fighter Wing members and retirees to pay tribute to the legacy of the F-16. The F-16 Fighting Falcon first arrived at Truax Field in 1992 replacing the A-10 Thunderbolt II as the wing's eighth primary airframe and were an integral part of multiple world-wide deployments over the last 30 years. The F-35 Lightning II aircraft is scheduled to replace the F-16 in the Spring of 2023. (U.S. Air National Guard video by Staff Sgt. Cameron Lewis)
