South Dakota heritage F-16 tail

A coyote tail flash is painted on a blue and white F-16 from the 114th Fighter Wing. The heritage paint scheme was painted on the aircraft in commemoration of the unit’s 75th anniversary. The idea of the design is to emulate the WWII era Grumman F-4F Wildcat flown by South Dakota native and Medal of Honor recipient Joe Foss who was instrumental in founding the South Dakota Air National Guard.
