Remembering our past with a new tail flash

U.S. Air Force Airmen assigned to the 31st Maintenance Squadron, prepare an F-16 Fighting Falcon’s tail for a new design at Aviano Air Base, Italy, Oct 5, 2023. Before a new tail flash can be painted, the aircraft's surface must be thoroughly sanded and cleaned to assist the adhesion process. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Raya Feltner)
