A Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcon from the 100th Fighter Squadron flies in a hold pattern Sep. 7, 2018, while flying over areas of Alabama. The 100th FS was one of the Tuskegee Airmen squadrons during World War II, a famous all African-American squadron from the 332d Fighter Group, activated on Feb 19, 1942 at Tuskegee Army Air Field, Alabama. It was returned to duty in 2007 as a replacement of the Alabama Air National Guard’s 160th Fighter Squadron so the state could honor the legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen.
