Capt. Ryan Typolt embraces his daughters Selah, 5, and Milla, 2, after arriving from a temporary duty assignment, at Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska. Elmendorf’s 19th Fighter Squadron is soon to be decommissioned with the first F-15s leaving in April 2010 and the final few scheduled to leave in September 2010. Some of the jets returned from more than a month-long TDY. Four jets from the 19th Fighter Squadron participated in Thailand’s exercise Cope Tiger from Feb. 26-March 13, 2010. After departing Thailand, they flew to Kadena Air Base where they rested for two days and flew out March 15, 2010, to meet up with four other Elmendorf F-15s, that participated in Cope Thaw in Hawaii.
