A U.S. Navy F/A-18E Super Hornet aircraft assigned to Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 31 takes off from the flight line during Weapons System Evaluation Program-East 24.12 at Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida, Sept. 17, 2024. In total, the Navy flew seven aircraft giving multiple pilots and ground crew the chance to test their skills with live munitions. During WSEPs, QF-16 drones as well as subscale drones are deployed to act as targets, providing the pilots and the missiles accurate combat environment to test their capabilities.
