Colonel Katanic and his staff will, among other places, visit the 180th Fighter Wing in Toledo, the 121s Air Refueling Wing in Columbus, the 179th Airlift Wing in Mansfield, and the 178th Fighter Wing in Springfield. The Serbian team will have the opportunity to observe F-16 flying operations, participate in air refueling events, and hold discussions on future engagements with the State of Ohio. Various cultural programs, and visits to the U.S. Air Force Museum at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, and Ohio National Guard Headquarters are also planned.
