From left, two U.S. Air Force F-16C Fighting Falcons assigned to the 177th Fighter Wing, New Jersey Air National Guard, and two F-35 Lightning II aircraft assigned to the 158th Fighter Wing, Vermont Air National Guard, follow a KC-135 Stratotanker refueler aircraft assigned to the 171st Air Refueling Wing, Pennsylvania Air National Guard, to perform a routine aerial refueling mission on Oct. 9, 2024, off the coast of Atlantic City, New Jersey. The aircraft flew during "Devilsmoke” 2024, a three-day dogfighting competition organized by the 119th Fighter Squadron's 'Jersey Devils', which included F-15C Eagles from the 104th Fighter Wing of the Massachusetts ANG, A-10 Thunderbolt IIs from the 175th Wing of the Maryland ANG, and F-22 Raptors from the 1st Fighter Wing, Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia. “Devilsmoke” 2024 also received aerial refueling support from tankers with the 108th Wing of the New Jersey ANG and the 101st Air Refueling Wing of the Maine ANG. Dogfighting is a core skill that all fighter pilots must master, and flying against dissimilar aircraft offers valuable experience for fighter pilots. (U.S. Air National Guard courtesy photo by Tech.
