Members of the Pacific Air Forces F-16 Fighting Falcon Demonstration Team, conduct a ground performance prior to takeoff for the Hofu Air Show practice at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, June 1, 2018. Due to the runway being too short for the F-16 Fighting Falcon to takeoff and land, the show was staged, meaning the jet launched from a different location than where the air show took place. 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 engine.
