PRINCE SULTAN AIR BASE, Saudi Arabia -- An F-15 Eagle takes off during
Operation Southern Watch, which was a major operation here for the past
seven years. U.S. officials ended an era with the inactivation of
the 363rd Air Expeditionary Wing at a ceremony Aug. 26. At the
height of Operation Iraqi Freedom, the base was home to more than 5,000
troops and about 200 coalition aircraft. (U.S. Air Force photo by
