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 last remaining T-1 Jayhawk at JBSA-Randolph, Texas, took its final flight to the "Boneyard" at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz., on July 15. The 99th Flying Training Squadron will train pilots using T-6 and simulator until it gets T-7 Red Hawk in fiscal 2026.
