495th Fighter Squadron Aviano Deployment 2023

The 31/48 exercises are designed as multigenerational airpower integration events. Rather than a prolonged combat deployment, these events serve as regular tactical rotations where the 495th's stealth capabilities are integrated with Aviano's 4th-generation fleet. This allows pilots from both wings to build real-world interoperability, test joint air-to-air tactics, and refine maintenance capabilities across theater locations.
