An old name and a famous paint scheme is returning to the skies above central Alabama. The commanding general of the Air Force is reactivating the 100th FS as part of Montgomery's 187th ANG Wing. The 100th Fighter Squadron was the unit the Tuskegee Airmen flew with in World War II. And now, more than 60 years later, the Total Force Integration (TFI) is bringing them back.
It stands out.... like the proudest rooster in the yard - a vivid red tail on a modern Air Force F-16. And soon, central Alabamians will see the red tail a lot more often.

Red Tails A group of young WWII pilots overcome racism to form the Tuskegee Airmen, a distinguished group of fliers who broke the aviation color barrier to become the first African-American fighter pilots in U.S. military history. Based on a story by George Lucas, who will finance the film.
