Tyndall Air Force Base will be supporting some 800 airmen for Checkered Flag 17-1 this year. The pilots from different bases bring their experiences to the table to help each other prepare and improve their combat skills. They will engage in live combat training to ensure their offensive and defensive skills are to the standards required for maintaining peace.

“The nature of air power includes speed, surprise, maneuver, and focused firepower. Units from greatly dispersed locations are able to rapidly assemble to form a formidable airpower team. Rapid global mobility begets air and space superiority at a pace and place our adversaries are heavily challenged to adequately defend.”

– Colonel Randall W. Cason (44th Fighter Group and 325th Air Expeditionary Wing Commander)
