That's so Metal; Corrosion Wraps Fourth and Final Flash

Tech. Sgt. David Lamb, 8th Maintenance Squadron noncommissioned officer in charge of aircraft structural maintenance, right, and Staff Sgt. Alex Dixon, 8th MXS ASM journeyman, left, apply stencils to an F-16 Fighting Falcon for the final touches of the fourth and final heritage tail flash at Kunsan Air Base, Republic of Korea, Jan. 23, 2022. Tail flashes are exemplary of the unit pride and heritage across the Air Force, and help the maintainers, who repair these aircraft, as well as the pilots who fly them, connect with the Airmen and missions of the past.
