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

Senior Airman Ryan Slesser, 8th Maintenance Squadron aircraft structural maintenance journeyman applies masking tape to outline a tail flash design for an F-16 Fighting Falcon at Kunsan Air Base, Republic of Korea, Jan. 22, 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.
