Prepare for takeoff
Major General Brian Tarbet, Utah National Guard Adjutant General, receives some final flight prep tips from 419th Fighter Wing pilot, Lt. Col. Thomas Klingensmith, prior to an F-16 familiarization flight yesterday. Tarbet strapped in for the training flight to get a pilot’s perspective on how Hill's Air Force Reserve personnel and F-16 aircraft support ground operations. Tarbet is responsible for 6,500 National Guard Soldiers and Air National Guard Airmen across Utah. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Richard Gonzales)
