An F-16 Fighting Falcon from the 18th Fighter Squadron at Eielson Air
Force Base, Alaska, prepares to refuel from a KC-135 Stratotanker at
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 skills 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 photo/Capt. Tana R.H.
