Professional golfer Brittany Lincicome, after playing in a charity golf event at Hill AFB, Utah, was given an orientation ride on 2 October 2012 in an F-16D piloted by Lt. Col. Jim Greenwald, an Air Force Reserve Command pilot from the 419th Fighter Wing at the base outside of Salt Lake City. Lincicome supported the Aerospace Heritage Foundation of Utah's annual Commander's Cup charity golf tournament on base. This foundation is a private, non-profit organization whose primary mission is providing capital support for the Hill Aerospace Museum. The Reserve 419th Fighter Wing shares aircraft with Hill AFB's active duty 388th Fighter Wing. Together the wings operate and maintain the US Air Force's largest combat-capable fleet of F-16s.
