U.S. Air Force 1st Lt. Andrew Buttitta, 14th Fighter Squadron pilot, hands his flight gear to Airman 1st Class Matthew McLaughlin, 14th Aircraft Maintenance Unit crew chief, after flying an F-16 Fighting Falcon during an Aviation Training Relocation mission at Komatsu Air Base, Japan, Nov. 12, 2014. The ATR program directs U.S. Air Force units to conduct training away from their duty station to provide a noise respite for those living in the community surrounding their home station. ATRs provide an indispensable field training environment for enhancing mutual understanding of each country’s tactics, communication protocols, procedures, and general interoperability. Buttitta is one of 120 Airmen from Misawa Air Base, Japan, supporting ATR missions at Komatsu. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Alyssa C. Wallace/Released)
