    Hill Air Force Base

    Airmen from the 388th Fighter Wing are welcomed home May 10 at Hill Air Force Base after spending the past eight months deployed in support of Operation Freedom’s Sentinel. As the 388th Fighter Wing transitions to the F-35 Lightning II aircraft, it’s likely this is the final combat operation for Hill’s F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft after nearly 40 years of providing air superiority for U.S. forces. While deployed, the 421st Fighter Squadron flew more than 2,800 sorties and spent more than 10,000 hours in the skies, dropping more than 100 guided bombs, primarily in support of coalition troops on the ground. As the only dedicated fighter unit in Afghanistan, the 421st Fighter Squadron provided 24/7 air support to coalition forces. (U.S. Air Force photo by Todd Cromar)
