Barry Leonard (left), Canadian forces air and space attaché, speaks with a RCAF pilot while touring the build site for the new 309th Fighter Squadron during a base visit, Feb. 18, 2026, at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona. The engagement reinforced Luke Air Force Base’s role as a central hub for allied fifth-generation fighter training and international cooperation.
