104th Fighter Wing Leadership marks the new F-35 era in Fort Worth

U.S. Air Force Maj. Brian 'Brass Burke, a 104th Fighter Wing pilot, signs an F-35 fuselage bulkhead at the Lockheed Martin production facility, May 27, 2026, in Fort Worth, TX. Signing a part of the pre-assembled aircraft is a tradition that allows a unit to leave its mark while the build is still taking place on the assembly line, while also providing a firsthand look at the future jets progressing through production. For those in attendance, the meaning of the moment extended far past the production floor. (U.S. Air National Guard Courtesy Photo by Chris Hanoch)
