PAYA LEBAR AIR BASE, Singapore -- Senior Airman Robert McFadden
prepares to launch an F-16 Fighting Falcon for a mission here Nov. 9
during Exercise Commando Sling. The annual exercise began in 1990 to
provide valuable combined air combat training for U.S. and Singapore
Air Force fighter units. The exercise allows units to sharpen air
combat skills, improve procedures for sustained operations at a
non-U.S. base, and promote closer relations between the two air forces
and nations. Airman McFadden is a crew chief from the 14th Figher
Squadron at Misawa Air Base, Japan. (U.S. Air Force photo by
