An F-16CM fighter jet, assigned to the 20th Fighter Wing, Shaw Air Force Base, South Carolina, takes off during Red Flag 21-3 at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, Aug. 3, 2021. Red Flag began in 1975 as an aerial-combat exercise but has evolved to include war-fighting across air, space and cyberspace domains. Prior to the invention of digital cameras, military members used film cameras to document combat missions dating all the way back to late 1800s.
