An F-35 Lightning II from the 61st Fighter Squadron, Luke Air Force Base, Ariz., takes off from Portland Air National Guard Base, Ore. Aug. 21, 2018, to conduct dissimilar air combat training (DACT) with the 142nd Fighter Wing's F-15 Eagles and F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft on station for the exercise. DACT provides realistic combat scenarios for pilots to hone advanced aerial tactics that may be used against potential adversaries. The training is an essential and required component to ensure military readiness in support of the base’s national and state missions. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Tech. Sgt.
