U.S. Airman 1st Class Adam Buttler, a crew chief from the 169th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, prepares to taxi an F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter jet from the South Carolina Air National Guard's 169th Fighter Wing at McEntire Joint National Guard Base, Sept. 12, 2018. The jets are evacuating to Homestead Air Force Base, Florida in response to the severe weather threat from quickly approaching Hurricane Florence. More than 2,100 South Carolina National Guard Airmen and Soldiers have been mobilized to prepare, respond and participate in recovery efforts as forecasters project Hurricane Florence will increase in strength with potential to be a Category 4 storm and a projected path to make landfall in the Carolinas and along the mid-atlantic region.
