A U.S. Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcon assigned to the 480th Fighter Squadron lands after routine flight training at Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, March 23, 2020. The 480th FS operates F-16 aircraft with pilots trained to perform the "Wild Weasel" mission of suppression, or destruction of enemy air defenses and are trained for interdiction and counter air operations. The F-16s are outfitted with high-speed anti-radiation missiles, joint direct attack munitions, laser-guided bombs, GPS-guided-inertial aided munitions and the HARM targeting system pod, making the aircraft a lethal platform against enemy air defense systems.
