Kunsan pilots improve capability with AIM-9X missile
An F-16 Fighting Falcon pilot shoots an AIM-9 missile Feb. 28 over the South Korean peninsula. The Air Intercept Missile-9X Sidewinder, developed by Raytheon engineers, is a fifth generation AIM-9 missile that is a substantial upgrade to the Sidewinder family featuring an advanced infra-red seeker and a higher off-bore sight capability. The F-16 pilot is assigned to the 35th Fighter Squadron from Kunsan Air Base, South Korea. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Quinton T. Burris)
