Hill Airmen return from F-16 deployment in Afghanistan
Maj. Geffrey Gebhardt, an F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft pilot assigned to the 421st Fighter Squadron, greets his son Grayson May 4 at Hill Air Force Base, Utah. Gebhardt returned to the base after a nearly 8-mnth deployment to Afghanistan in support of Operation Freedom’s Sentinel. While deployed, the 421st Fighter Squadron flew more than 2,800 sorties and spent more than 10,000 hours in the skies, dropping more than 100 guided bombs, primarily in support of coalition troops on the ground. As the only dedicated fighter unit in Afghanistan, the 421st Fighter Squadron provided 24/7 air support to coalition forces. (U.S. Air Force photo by R. Nial Bradshaw)
