Airman Samantha Lynch, aviation machinists mate with the Strike Fighter Squadron 2 (VFA-2), Naval Air Station Lemoore, worked alongside her Air Force counterparts from the Air National Guard’s 115th Fighter Wing in Madison, Wis. during a two-week air-to-air combat skills training mission at NAS Key West, Fla. As part of the exercise, the aircraft maintainers participated in a swap program that had Air Guard maintainers help launch the FA-18s and Navy maintainers do the same with the F-16Cs.
