An instructor pilot with the Texas Air National GuardÕs 149th Fighter Wing makes a low-level pass over the Barry Goldwater Bombing Range after completing an Exercise Coronet Cactus training mission April 24, near Tucson, Arizona. The 149th Fighter Wing trains active duty F-16 pilots prior to assignment to their first duty station. Coronet Cactus is a Òfinal examÓ of sorts and provides student pilots an opportunity to apply everything they have learned during seven-and-a-half months of training.
