William Tell (USAF)

William Tell (USAF)

The United States Air Force holds a biennial fighter gunnery competition called "William Tell" in every even-numbered year. In the competition, teams representing the various major commands of the USAF compete in live-fire exercises, using towed banner targets for gun engagements, and obsolete fighters converted into unmanned target drones (currently QF-4 Phantoms) for air-to-air missile engagements.
