Full Circle: Maj. Alley’s Final Flight at Luke AFB

U.S. Air Force Maj. Isaiah Alley, 309th Fighter Squadron director of operations, is sprayed with water and champagne by his wife, daughter, and other family members following his final active-duty flight, Feb. 19, 2025, at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona. A former F-16 crew chief turned instructor pilot, Alley has spent nearly five years developing future fighter pilots as part of the 56th Fighter Wing’s mission to train the world’s greatest fighter pilots and combat-ready Airmen. Having started his Air Force career at Luke AFB as an enlisted crew chief, he now concludes his active-duty service at the same base before transitioning to the Air Force Reserve.
