Lt. Col. Gregory Barasch, an F-16 Fighting Falcon pilot assigned to the 180th Fighter Wing, Ohio Air National Guard, conducts a preflight inspection prior to a morning sortie, May 25, 2017, at Kecskemet Air Base in Hungary. Approximately 150 Airmen and eight F-16 fighter jets from the 180FW traveled to the air base to participate in Load Diffuser 17, a two-week Hungarian-led multinational exercise focused on enhancing interoperability capabilities and skills among NATO allied and European partner air forces by conducting joint operations and air defenses to maintain joint readiness, while also bolstering relationships within the U.S. Air National Guard’s State Partnership Program initiatives. Ohio became state partners with Hungary in 1993. Air National Guard photo by Senior Master Sgt. Beth Holliker.
