A tactical aircraft maintenance specialist, also known as crew chief, salutes the pilot of an F-16 Fighting Falcon, painted with non-standard markings, assigned to the 148th Fighter Wing, Minnesota Air National Guard, on July 17, 2023. The markings include the winged arrowhead dividing the top of the aircraft at a 45-degree angle, the Ursa Minor constellation and Phoenix. It also incorporates the Minuteman and fighter jets found on the Air National Guard emblem. The lightning bolts reference the Wing’s electronic warfare mission era as well as the Wing’s original P-51 Mustang aircraft. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Audra Flanagan)
