Weather changes. The mission does not!

The Lockheed P-38 Lightning, “Pudgy”, static display is covered in snow from Winter Storm Hernando on Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, N.J., Feb 22, 2026. Heavy snowfall from the winter storm tested the installation’s dedication to maintaining operational readiness through clearing roads and runways, as well as keeping mission-critical infrastructure operational.
