First flight during Thracian Viper 20
A U.S. Air Force pilot from the 555th Fighter Squadron, Aviano Air Base, Italy, sits in the cockpit of a U.S. Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcon at Graf Ignatievo Air Base, Bulgaria, Sept. 21, 2020. This multilateral training opportunity tested the squadron’s ability to rapidly forward deploy, sustain operations and work in coordination with our partners and allies. It provides an opportunity for U.S. Air Force Airmen to train with partners and NATO allies in order to improve interoperability and readiness. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Ericka A.
