23rd Fighter Squadron - Home again

Lt. Col. William Woodcock hugs his 10-year-old son, Jacob, after the 23rd Fighter Squadron commander returned home to Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, on Labor Day. Six of the squadron’s F-16 Fighting Falcon jets returned home after a more than two month deployment to Southwest Asia. The unit provided close-air support to coalition forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. The flight back home took eight hours. The rest of the squadron will return home in the next week.
