F-4
The QF-4, typically used as a aerial target drone in Combat Archer missions, was given a new mission late last year called banner tow. The aircraft pulls a long banner in the air while other aircraft use it in aerial gunnery training. The only F-4s still actively used in the Air Force fall under the 53rd Wing and are located at Tyndall Air Force Base, Fla, and Holloman Air Force Base, N.M. (Courtesy photo/Jake Melampy)

33rd in Persian Gulf circa 1990
In this historic photo, a four-ship of F-15 Eagles, deployed from Eglin, fly over the Persian Gulf. Throughout the 90s, then-named 33rd Tactical Fighter Wing flew combat air patrol and high value airborne asset protection missions as part of Operations DESERT STORM and SOUTHERN WATCH. Known for the most combat kills, the wing "Nomads" ended the operational missions with 16 aerial victories. Today, the wing continues its air dominance by training pilots and maintainers for the military's future generation as DoD's Integrated Training Center for the F-35. (Courtesy photo)
