A group of Indian Air Force officers spent Feb. 23-27 at Hickam AFB, Hawaii, as part of a bilateral exchange of subject matter experts. Members of Pacific Air Forces 613th Air and Space Operations Center hosted the visit, during which the Indian airmen learned how PACAF uses the center to command and control airpower in the Pacific. Five members of the 613th AOC will visit India March 9-13 for a similar orientation. Just last month, the Air Force sent a delegation to the Aero India air show in Bangalore, India, and displayed several aircraft types there. (PACAF photo caption by Oscar Hernandez)
