Major Jay Spohn performs preflight tasks in an F-35A Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter during preparations to become the Guard's first F-35 instructor pilot. Spohn is a former pilot with the 188th Fighter Wing, Arkansas Air National Guard. He finished his last of six flights Aug. 3 to become a part of aviation history. He transitioned to the Florida National Guard following his selection as the Guard’s first F-35 aviator. He is now embedded in the 33rd Fighter Wing at Eglin Air Force Base where he is responsible for training up the fighter pilots who will fly the fifth-generation F-35 and will carry the U.S. Air Force into the next 50 years of air superiority.
