Feria Aeronautica Internacional—Colombia 2019 at José María Córdova International Airport in Rionegro, Colombia, July 13, 2019. U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Megan Floyd, a Public Affairs Speciallist for the 169th Fighter Wing was shooting photographs at the F-Air show iin Rionegro, Colombia when the Colombian president greeted her and thanked her for her presence and in doing so showed his grattitude for the U.S. military's presence and cooperation with the Colombian military.

The United States Air Force is participating in the four-day air show with four South Carolina Air National Guard F-16s as static displays, along with an F-16 aerial demonstration by the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds. United States military participation in the air show provides an opportunity to strengthen our military-to-military relationships with regional partners and provides the opportunity to meet with our Colombian air force counterparts and facilitate interoperability, which can be exercised in future cooperation events such as exercises and training.
