Weasel in a wolves' den

A 13th Fighter Squadron pilot waits on his wingman before taxiing for takeoff at Kunsan Air Base, Republic of Korea, June 13, 2017. While in Korea, pilots practiced basic fighter maneuvering in air-to-air combat. This mission-set is different from the suppression of enemy air defenses exercises performed while in Alaska because an aircraft is the target rather than a grounded target. The ability to move forces and operate from locations across the Indo-Asia-Pacific theater is a key strength for Team Misawa and Pacific Air Forces as a whole.
