PSAB generates first combat sortie in 17 years

U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Bobby Ridenour left and Senior Airman Emily Kline, crew chiefs assigned to the 494th Expeditionary Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, accomplish a pre take-off checklist prior to an F-15E Strike Eagle sortie at Prince Sultan Air Base, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Jan. 8, 2020. The F-15E’s ability to conduct air-to-air and air-to-ground operations ensures U.S. Air Forces Central Command's ability to defend against state and non-state actors throughout the region.
