Sentry Lion 2006
Staff Sgt. James Yandell, 173d Security Forces Squadron, stands watch recently on the flight line at 3d Airbase at Graf Ignatievo, Bulgaria. More than 100 members of the 173d Fighter Wing, from Kingsley Field, Ore were in Bulgaria for Sentry Lion 2006, a bi-lateral flying exercise with the Bulgarian Air Force. The two week exercise focused on increasing interoperability with the Bulgarian Air Force. The interaction among pilots, maintainers and all support personnel continues to build a solid foundation for future U.S. Air Force and NATO activities in Bulgaria.
