Down on the Range…. Where the 77th Bombs!
A U.S. Air Force F-16C Fighting Falcon assigned to the 77th Fighter Squadron “Gamblers,” demonstrates strafing maneuvers at the Poinsett Electronic Combat Range, South Carolina, during a Range Day event, Feb. 14, 2024. During the strafing runs, pilots fired the M-61A1, Vulcan cannon. This critical component of the F-16 weapons system fired 20mm rounds at a rate of 6,000 per minute to showcase the air power generated from each squadron’s contributions to the flying mission.
