Lt. Col. James Horton, 79th Fighter Squadron commander, refuels from a
KC-135 of the Nebraska ANG in an F-16CJ over western Colorado during a
large force employment exercise in conjunction with the inaugural Tiger
Meet of the Americas held in Colorado. The "Tigers" of the 79th FS are
assigned to Shaw AFB, S.C., and Colonel Horton's jet wears colorful
"Tiger" markings on the tail. The Tiger Meet mirrors the NATO Tiger
Meet by bringing together units that have large cats as their mascot or
symbol to discuss tactics, fly against and with each other, and move
toward the common goal of seamless combat employment. (USAF photo by
