Thracian Star 2012

GRAF IGNATIEVO AIR FORCE BASE, Bulgaria -- Members of the 31st Fighter Wing and the Bulgarian air force pose for a group photo in front of an American F-16 and a Bulgarian MiG-21 and MiG-29 aircraft following the opening ceremony for Thracian Star 2012, April 18, 2012. Thracian Star 2012 is a month-long joint training exercise focused on building partnerships and increasing interoperability with the Bulgarian air force. While this is not the first time the Bulgarian air force has hosted American forces at Graf Ignatievo, Thracian Star 2012 boasts the largest contingent of Airmen to date they’ve hosted. In all, the 31st FW brought more than two dozen F-16 Fighting Falcons and more than 500 Airmen—about twice the amount than any other U.S. Air Forces in Europe wing thus far.
