U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Joshua Kubacz, 52nd Operations Support Squadron commander, poses for a photo before logging 2,000 flying hours in an F-16 Fighting Falcon at Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, March 26, 2019. With the administrative and training duties placed on pilots as they progress through the ranks, it can take many years for an experienced pilot with 1,500 flying hours to cross the 2,000 flying hours threshold.
