Spangdahlem F-16s Fly Anatolian Eagle

|
 Airmen from the 23rd Expeditionary Fighter Squadron found something else to occupy their time while deployed to Turkey for Operation Northern Watch. As if flying suppression of enemy air defense missions every day over northern Iraq were not enough to keep them busy, the 23rd EFS Fighting Hawks participated in Anatolian Eagle—a two-week, large-force employment exercise carried out near the central Anatolian city of Konya, Turkey. The exercise, which ended in early May, included combat maneuvers over the plains of Anatolia and ground-attack sorties with live ammunition on the Konya range. USAFE F-16s, a NATO E-3 Sentry, and Turkish Air Force F-16s, F-4s, and F-5s all participated in the exercise. |
