PSAB and AUAB collaborate for F-16 ICTs

Two U.S. Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft assigned to the 378th Air Expeditionary Wing, Prince Sultan Air Base, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, perform an integrated combat turn at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar, June 2, 2021. Fuels operators and munitions Airmen from the 379th AEW, as well as maintenance Airmen from the 378th AEW, cooperated on the event where live munitions were loaded on an aircraft being refueled with engines running and then returned to the mission demonstrating the capabilities for performing ICTs on transient airframes. ICTs allow for a rapid redeployment of forces to ensure protection of the U.S. and coalition partners in the region. The integration from both base’s personnel continues to showcase the interoperability of the Airmen in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Greg Erwin)
