The 187th Fighter Wing unveiled the new Alabama Air National Guard’s F-35 Lightning II fighter jet during an event at Dannelly Field, Alabama, Feb. 9, 2024. The red tails are a historic tribute to the Tuskegee Red Tails, the famed WWII squadron, which lives on as the 100th Fighter Squadron within the wing. “The red tail you will see is a reminder to all that through excellence we will overcome any obstacle and threat regardless of gender, race, or religion, “ said Col. Brian Vaughn, the wing’s commander, during the ceremony. “We are all here for the same mission: to protect our nation, defend our constitution, and to form a more perfect union as the Tuskegee Airmen did.” (U.S. Air Force video by Staff Sgt Taylor Crul)
