"On Target"

"U.S. Air Force Air Advisors of the 321st Air Expeditionary Wing marked an Advise, Train, Assist and Equip milestone recently, highlighting the success of their Iraqi Air Force counterparts following the second ever Hellfire rocket launch from an Iraqi Air Force AC-208 Cessna Caravan. An Iraqi Air Force AC-208 Cessna Caravan aircrew fired a Hellfire missile at a target on the Aziziyah Training Range, south of Baghdad, Nov. 8. The Iraqi Airmen scored a direct hit, destroying the target in their second-ever launch of a Hellfire missile. Iraqi Airmen have trained continuously for the Hellfire mission, mastering the weapons load, target attack and airmanship skills necessary to maintain proficiency since completing their first Hellfire launch in 2009, also resulting in a direct hit of a training target.
