An F-16 Fighting Falcon from the 18th Fighter Squadron at Eielson Air
Force Base, Alaska, flies away after refueling from a KC-135
Stratotanker during Red Flag-Alaska July 20. More than 80 aircraft and
1,500 servicemembers from six countries are participating in the
exercise July 12 to 27 to sharpen their combat skill in simulated
combat sorties. Red Flag-Alaska's multinational participation and the
addition of the Pacific Alaskan Range Complex assets provide realistic
combat training in a safe and controlled setting. (U.S. Air Force
