132nd conducts last 300 hour phase inspection in the unit’s history.

In the hangar of the 132nd Fighter Wing (132FW), Des Moines, Iowa on April 7, 2013, a unique view of an F-16 aircraft tail flash is seen looking through the “belly” of another F-16 aircraft which is undergoing the last 300 hour phase inspection in the 132FW’s history; we can see the tail flash because the aircraft in phase has its engine removed. The 132FW is currently re-missioning, and will soon be working with the MQ-9 Reaper remote piloted aircraft. (Air National Guard photo/Staff Sgt. Linda K. Burger)(Released)
