Caption:
A look-down view of a Tiger-striped F-16C belonging to the 140th
Fighter Wing, 120th Fighter Squadron, Colorado ANG, as the aircraft
flies over eastern Utah while returning from the Utah Test and Training
Range. The aircraft has tiger-stripes applied to the upper
surfaces and represented the Colorado ANG as their official Tiger jet
as the unit hosted the Inaugural Tiger Meet of the Americas in
mid-August. The inaugural meet closely mirrors the NATO Tiger
Meet and brings together military units that have large cats as their
mascots. Members of the units discuss tactics, fly with and
against each other, and establish close relationships that are necessry
if ever called to task during a conflict. (USAF photo by Staff Sgt.
