Lt. Col. Robert McCutchen, commander of the 56th Operations Group Detachment 1 and senior Air Force advisor to the 162nd FW, became the first active duty Air Force F-16 pilot to surpass the 4,000-hour mark last October in an hour-long sortie with Lt. Col. Nick Anderson of the 152nd FS in Tucson, Arizona, who became the first ANG pilot to achieve 4,000 hours in the F-16 last spring. The combined 8,000 flying hours between them establishes the most hours for a two-ship flight. The pilots are two of only three in the US military to fly more than 4,000 hours in the F-16. |
