Battle Damaged F-16 Returns to 148th Fighter Wing
The final F-16 that was damaged in a 2018 windstorm in Kuwait has finally made its way back to Duluth and its home at the 148th Fighter Wing.
The planes were deployed in support of Operation INHERENT RESOLVE to Ahmad al-Jaber Air Base when a severe windstorm blew threw in May and collapsed several industrial-strength steel-framed sunshades from 91-MPH straight-lined winds.
Seven F-16 fighter aircraft assigned to the 148th Fighter Wing were damaged in the storm, five of them sustaining catastrophic damage. The fabric ripping off the structures sounded like thunder, said 148th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron Commander, Maj. Will Carr Carr.
