Another successful day

Maj. Chris Hansen, a pilot with the 176th Fighter Squadron of the 115th Fighter Wing in Madison, Wis., returned to Naval Air Station Key West, Fla., after a dog fight in the skies south of NAS Key West March 24, 2010, against an F-18 Super Hornet. Major Hansen had never flown against a Super Hornet until this training exercise and he was grateful for the experience. “The Super Hornets are extremely capable and this opportunity provided valuable training for me,” he said. There were many differences between the two aircraft in terms of weight and thrust, which he had witnessed firsthand for the first time that day, he added. Close to 145 Airmen of the 115th FW spent approximately two weeks at NAS gaining valuable training as their F-16s sparred against Navy F-18s and F-5 Tigers here.
