The “Thunderbolts” will support U.S. Central Command priorities and execute missions of local, regional and global importance in a critical strategic theater.
“In lead up to this deployment, the 389th Fighter Squadron TBolts conducted the most robust spin-up plan I’ve seen in four F-15E ops tours,” said Lt Col Beacher “Magnus” Webb, 389th FS commander. “This team is ready to provide dominant airpower in a wide array of critical roles in a challenging area of responsibility. TBolt Airmen will add to the proud history of the Gunfighters and the 389th over the next six months.”
