U.S. Air Force crew chiefs from the 36th Fighter Generation Squadron run a maximum power check on an F-16 Fighting Falcon at Osan Air Base, South Korea, Sept. 7, 2023. Maintainers run the F-16’s engine at in-flight performance levels to correct any potential complications or failures on the ground rather than in the air, ensuring these jets stay combat-ready for missions maintaining stability in the Pacific region.
