U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Sam Echstenkamper and Airman 1st Class Wyatt Phillips, aircraft armament systems specialists assigned to the Ohio National Guard’s 180th Fighter Wing, use an MJ-1 Lift Truck to unload an AIM-120 advanced medium-range air-to-air missile from a munitions trailer during Checkered Flag 26-2 and Weapons System Evaluation Program-East at Tyndall Air Force Base, Fla., April 29, 2026. Checkered Flag, a large-scale aerial exercise, hones the skills of the aviators and maintainers who fly and fix our aircraft, fostering pride in their craft and ensuring they remain the most lethal combat force.
