388th Fighter Wing F-16s prepare to take off during a surge exercise in Dec. 2014. The active duty 388th FW and the Reserve 419th FW share a fleet of Block 40 F-16s, and are required to train at night to maintain their readiness and all weather capabilities. When on a surge schedule, the wings will increase their normal day-to-day workload and conduct missions from 8 a.m. until shortly after midnight. A surge exercise provides a valuable opportunity to evaluate aircraft maintenance resiliency and operational agility.
