A weapons specialist, assigned to the 180th Fighter Wing, Ohio Air National Guard, signals to a pilot that the fighter jet has passed all weapons inspections and is ready for an early morning training mission Feb. 1, 2019 at Patrick Air Force Base, Florida. The 180FW deployed more than 130 Airmen and 10 F-16s to Patrick, Jan. 25 through Feb. 9, 2019, in an effort to enhance flying operations and readiness capabilities that can often be hindered by harsh winter weather at home-station in Northwest Ohio.
