U.S. Airmen with the 94th Fighter Squadron, hurry to load an AIM-9 sidewinder during the Mitchell Trophy Air Race at Langley Air Force Base, Virginia, Mar. 6, 2025. The race increases lethality and combat resilience of those competing by testing physical and mental limitations. Events included a weapons load competition, a 1.5-mile run, and a flight from Virginia to Michigan and back, where pilots had to refuel their own F-22 Raptor.
