Luke is going through vast changes as it is given new life to become a major AF training center for the new F-35A, the AF version of the new Joint Strike fighter.

The communities around Luke in NW valley of the sun have pushed to help Luke get repurposed for life as the F-16 begins its move out and the F-35 comes in with hundreds of millions of new aircraft and dozens of new Squadron Operations, AMUs, Academic Training Center with FMS simulators, new hangers and fueling features.

New medical center renovations and other upgrades are underway as well.

While I am not with the AF, I am very involved with this airbase the last few years and can comment on questions anyone has from a non-pilot capacity.
