The Texas Air National Guard’s 111th Fighter Squadron, part of the 147th Fighter Wing in Houston, has painted one of its F-16s to reflect the squadron’s 90-year history. The rudder has the look of a JN-4 Jenny. The blue fuselage recalls a color scheme from the Korean War, while the grey belly represents the jet age. An N5 A painted on the fuselage is a reminder of the unit’s P-51 days during World War II. And more, in this release.
The Air Force has begun flying its CV-22 Ospreys again. But that is just the start of a multi-step process to return the fleet to normal operations following a deadly crash last year, the service says.
