ALI BASE, Iraq—After spending the night here because of a weather diversion, Maj. Darren Censullo, an F-16 Fighting Falcon pilot, does a preflight walk around his aircraft before takeoff Oct. 18. A reservist, the major flies with the 332nd Expeditionary Fighter Squadron at Balad Air Base, Iraq. He is deployed from the 482nd Fighter Wing at Homestead Air Reserve Base, Fla. The fighters provide air support to Operation Iraqi Freedom coalition ground forces. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Paul Dean)
