Expeditionary fighter exchange

JOINT BASE BALAD, Iraq -- Members of the Iowa and Wisconsin Air National Guard assigned to the 332nd Expeditionary Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, tow an F-16 Fighting Falcon to its appropriate hardened aircraft shelter here, June 13. Aircraft and personnel from the Iowa and Wisconsin Air National Guard will return to the U.S., after being in Iraq for four months; F-16s and Airmen from the South Dakota and New York Air National Guard have arrived here to take their places. Rotating fighters helps reduce the amount of time the aircraft are exposed to the hot and dusty weather of Iraq, which can wreak havoc on the planes' components.
