Falcon Air Meet 2010 kicked off on 18 October 2010 at Azraq AB, Jordan. The two-week exercise brings military forces from Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, and the US Navy and Air Force together to share doctrine and procedures, strengthen relationships, and improve regional security. A friendly competition that includes basic fighter maneuvers, air combat training, and other large force employment missions is a highlight of the exercise. More than 250 US military members are involved in the exercise. The US aircraft contingent includes six F-16s, one B-52 bomber, one KC-10 tanker, and six Navy FA-18 fighters, and one E-2 airborne warning and control aircraft. They are joined by F-16 pilots from Jordan, UAE, and Pakistan.
