Thunderbolt IIs launch into Alaskan skies during RF-A 16-2

U.S. Air Force maintenance Airmen wait to launch an A-10 Thunderbolt II twin-engine, ground-attack aircraft assigned to the 354th Fighter Squadron (FS) out of Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz., for an afternoon sortie from Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, June 6, 2016, during RED FLAG-Alaska (RF-A) 16-2. RF-A is a series of Pacific Air Forces commander-directed field training exercises that enable U.S. and partner nation forces like the 354 FS "Bulldogs" to sharpen their combat skills by flying simulated combat sorties in a realistic threat environment inside the more than 67,000 square mile Joint Pacific Alaska Range Complex, the largest instrumented air, ground and electronic combat training range in the world.
