The first F-35s are set to arrive at Truax in 2023. On October 5, the last F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft left Truax Field. https://www.nationalguard.mil/News/Article/3181247/115th-fighter-wing-celebrates-end-of-f-16-era-at-truax-field/ The first contract supporting this transition was awarded in 2021.
