Together we stand

Members of the U.S. Pacific Air Forces F-16 Demonstration Team pause for a photo prior to launching from Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, to the Hofu Air Festival, May 21, 2017. Due to the runway being too short for the F-16 Fighting Falcon to take-off and land, the show was staged, meaning the jet launched from a different location than where the air show took place. The PACAF F-16 Demonstration Team is comprised of members from 13th Fighter Squadron, 14th FS and 35th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron. The team includes one pilot, two narrators, one safety observer, a superintendent and a maintenance team composed of three crew chiefs and four specialists, responsible for the aircraft's avionics and electrical systems and engines.
