After a 19-year hiatus, the Air Force’s historic William Tell Air-to-Air Weapons Meet took place September 11-15, 2023, at the Air Dominance Center in Savannah, Georgia. Hosted by Air Combat Command, the weeklong competition evaluated F-35, F-22 and F-15 Fighter Integration Teams from across the Department of the Air Force, employing Total Force combat-capable active-duty, Guard and Reserve Airmen in near-peer-like competition. While the Air Force works to employ airframes through the Next Generation Air Dominance program, like the next upgrade to the F-35 Lightning II and E-7 Airborne Early Warning and Control platform, as well as advanced munitions technology, it’s imperative that its personnel hone their skills in its current airframes through events like William Tell.
