F-15 aircraft of the 104th Fighter Wing, Massachusetts Air National Guard on approach to Tyndall AFB Florida as they return from a training mission during the Weapons System Evaluation Program (WSEP), known as Combat Archer, on April 20, 2011. This training is important for the ground crews to test their maintenance systems and processes while loading live munitions on the F-15 eagle, as well as critical live war fighting training for the F-15 pilots to employ air-to-air missiles against real world targets.
