Brig. Gen. Kurt Neubauer, 332nd Air Expeditionary Wing commander, taxis after surpassing his 4000th flying hour mark in the F-16 Fighting Falcon Aug. 1, 2011, at Joint Base Balad, Iraq. Neubauer's accomplishment is rare, but it is even more rare that he reached it as a commander in a deployed environment. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Jeffrey Schultze)
