Keeping jets 'ready' status
SHAW AIR FORCE BASE, SC - A crew chief from the 20th Fighter Wing inspects the exhaust of an F-16 fighter jet, a mere 7 minutes after engine shutdown to ensure the quickest return to ready status during a training mission marking the 50,000th sortie flown in support of Operation Noble Eagle June 30. The ONE mission is to protect the homeland from air threats, and if necessary, eliminate threats that endanger the public or critical infrastructure in the United States.
