An F-16 Fighting Falcon, painted with non-standard markings, assigned to the 148th Fighter Wing, Minnesota Air National Guard, takes off on July 17, 2023. The “heritage jet” was inspired by the 148th Fighter Wing’s emblem. 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 Amn Addie Peterson)
