Air Force Reserve Command’s 419th Fighter Wing at Hill AFB, Utah, has opened a new heritage park on the base to honor the wing’s 60-year history. About 1,000 wing personnel gathered earlier this month to dedicate the park, which includes F-16 and F-105 aircraft static displays. Back in 1984, the wing became the first Reserve flying unit to operate the F-16. (Hill report by SSgt. Alan Schultz)
