An F-16 Fighting Falcon from Hill Air Force Base, Utah, soars through the skies over Albacete Air Base, Spain, May 1 as part of the Tactical Leadership Programme (TLP).
TLP is an annual NATO Mission Commander’s School training program designed to provide joint tactical training to increase NATO air defense with participating allies.
This deployment marks the last time the F-16 fighter will likely deploy from Hill AFB. After nearly 40 years, Hill’s F-16s are being replaced by the Air Force’s newest fighter jet; the F-35A. The first operational F-35As arrived at Hill AFB in October, 2015. Hill AFB currently has 20 F- 35As and will eventually be home to 78 aircraft and three operational F-35A fighter squadrons by the end of 2019. (U.S. Air Force Photo by/ Senior Airman Justin Fuchs)
