In the early morning of New Years Eve 2008, an F-16C block 25 from the 179th FS sits tethered to the hot cargo pad at Balad AB. The aircraft is tethered to secure it in place prior to a full afterburner engine run-up. The Minnesota Air National Guard's 179th FS carries the 332nd EFS designation while deployed to Balad in support of OIF. [USAF photo by TSgt. Erik Gudmundson]
