The cannon can fire up to 4,200 PGU-13 30mm high-explosive incendiary rounds per minute, and is the backbone of the fighter's armament. Captain Petek is deployed from the 75th Fighter Squadron, Moody Air Force Base, Ga., and hails from Bigfork, Mont. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Samuel Morse)(Released)
