Martha Raddatz, ABC News chief global affairs correspondent, poses for a photograph on top of a 493rd Fighter Squadron F-15D Eagle with U.S. Air Force Maj. Benjamin Leestma, California Air National Guard 194th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron F-15C Eagle pilot, at Ämari Air Base, Estonia, Aug. 24, 2016. Raddatz flew alongside the 493rd FS and 194th EFS to become familiar with the aircraft’s capabilities during the squadron’s multilateral flying training deployment. Five countries are participating in the FTD, which allows for various aircraft and Airmen to test their capabilities against each other in a realistic training environment. The 493rd FS is assigned to Royal Air Force Lakenheath, England, and the 194th EFS is assigned to the California ANG in Fresno. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Erin Trower/Released)
