U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Preston Corpis, Staff Sgt. Andrew Imhof and Polish Air Force Master Sergeant Krzysztof Król team up to fabricate a replacement F-16 flat panel, June 10, 2015. Structural maintenance specialists from the South Carolina Air National Guard's 169th Fighter Wing and the Polish Air Force's 32nd Tactical Air Base at Łask Air Base join up to share their "know-how" in the fabrication of an F-16 flat panel needed to support flying missions for Operation ATLANTIC RESOLVE, June 10, 2015. U.S. Air Force Airmen from Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany and the South Carolina Air National Guard’s 169th Fighter Wing from McEntire Joint National Guard Base, are deployed to Łask Air Base in support of Operation ATLANTIC RESOLVE, during the month of June. These training missions, called Aviation Detachment Rotations, pair U.S. fighter pilots and maintenance crews with their Polish Air Force counterparts at Łask Air Base. This bilateral training, hosted by permanently assigned USAF service members assigned to Poland, has taken place since 2012. Through strengthened relationships and engagements with our allies, the U.S. and NATO demonstrate their shared commitment to a peaceful, stable and secure Europe.
