An F-16 Fighting Falcon from the 180th Fighter Wing in Swanton, Ohio stands ready and waiting in the early morning hours for the day’s training exercises to begin at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Fla., on Feb. 2, 2017. The 180FW brought F-16s and more than 150 maintainers, pilots, and operations support personnel to MacDill for a two week training exercise which included basic fighter maneuvers against F-18 Hornets from the Canadian 425th Tactical Fighter Squadron, sharpening the combat capabilities of the 180FW Airmen.
