180th Trains at MacDill AFB
U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Jody Smith, a flight line avionics technician assigned to the 180th Fighter Wing, Ohio Air National Guard, loads data in an F-16 Fighting Falcon prior to takeoff so the pilot can communicate securely with other pilots during a training exercise at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida on Feb. 2, 2017. The 180th brought F-16s and more than 150 maintainers, pilots, and operations support personnel to MacDill AFB for a two-week training exercise which included basic fighter maneuvers against F-18 Hornets from the Canadian 425th Tactical Fighter Squadron, sharpening the combat capabilities of 180FW Airmen.
