Take to the sky

U.S. Air Force Maj. Richard Smeeding, Pacific Air Forces F-16 Demonstration Team pilot, soars through the sky during the Pacific Partners Air Festival at Misawa Air Base, Japan, Sept. 10, 2017. Smeeding performed several maneuvers demonstrating the compact, multi-role fighter F-16’s combat capabilities. It is highly maneuverable and has proven itself in air-to-air combat and air-to-surface attack and provides a relatively low-cost, high-performance weapon system for the United States and allied nations.
