PAYA LEBAR AIR BASE, Singapore -- Capt. Michael May conducts a
preflight check of an F-16 Fighting Falcon before 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. Captain May is from the 14th Fighter Squadron at Misawa
Air Base, Japan. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Shane A.
