Caption:
A 421st Expeditionary Fighter Squadron F-16 Fighting Falcon from Hill Air Force Base, Utah, launches on a sortie at Balad Air Base, Iraq, April 21. On April 20, Air Force pilots had flown more than 1 million sorties in support of the war on terrorism. Many F-16 missions that depart from Balad provide close-air support to Army ground units by identifying improvised explosive devices and emplacers and either recording their actions using intelligence gathering equipment or engaging them with precision weapons. U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Julianne Showalter (RELEASED)
