The F-15EX, which was added to the @usairforce fleet just 6 months ago, is undergoing operational tests at @NellisAFB

The platform is anticipated to join the F-35, F-16 and A-10 along with a sixth-gen fighter program as part of the four-plus-one concept

Thirsty much? ⛽️

#Airmen from @22ARW achieved a first-ever dual defuel milestone. This allows one KC-46 to support the refueling of a 4-ship of fighters on the ground at an austere location in the shortest time possible, & continue flight operations!

The F-35 has completed a milestone #5thGen fighter test with refurbished B61-12 nuclear gravity bombs, bringing an entirely new strategic-level capability that strengthens our nation’s nuclear deterrence mission.

#TBT Remember the #F111 #Aardvark? I found this photo of the last graduating class from the F-111 FWIC. The F-111 was a part of the USAFWS from 1978 -1995. If you know anyone in the photo, let us know!
