Aircrew with the 494th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron pose for a photo in front of an F-15E Strike Eagle, Al Dhafra Air Base, United Arab Emirates, after conducting a fly-by honoring Qatar National Day, Dec. 18, 2019. The ability to participate in events on Qatar National Day allows our U.S. and coalition members to gain a better understanding of each others cultures so that we are a more efficient and lethal force on the battlefield.
