An F-15 Eagle from the 366th Fighter Wing pitches out for landing over Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho, Nov. 1. The 366th Fighter Wing began the first phase of its F-16 Fighting Falcon drawdown when five jets departed the base Nov. 2. The departure is part of the wing’s realignment from an F-16, F-15C and F-15E base to an all F-15E Strike Eagle installation by 2011. The move, outlined in the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure recommendation, is also part of the Air Force initiative to become a smarter and leaner force by consolidating its F-15 and F-16 fighter aircraft.
