Pilots from to the 457th Fighter Squadron (the "Spads") and 24th Fighter Squadron (the "Leaping Tigers"), 301st Fighter Wing, Naval Air Station Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base, Texas, led a four F-16C Fighting Falcon formation flyover during the Opening Ceremony of the Bell Fort Worth Alliance Air Show, Oct. 23.

Flyovers have their origin in World War I. The first combat aviators passed over battlefields after an engagement to let those on the ground count planes to learn if their mission was successful or if friendly aviators were lost. During some of these flyovers, a wreath was dropped on the site where a fellow Airman went down.

On Sept. 5, 1918, 60 U.S. Army biplanes soared over game one of the World Series which marked the first military flyover in world history.

The air show hosted over 120,000 attendees this year with a "park and play" concept, where spectators witnessed the aerial performers from their vehicles and listened to the narration through radio. (U.S. Air Force video by Staff Sgt. Nije Hightower)

About Moody Bridge Chat

Bridge Chat's purpose is to create cohesive, high-performing teams that foster trust and connection through flexible and consistent small group discussions; in direct response to overwhelming feedback from the CSAF 21's Resilience Tactical Pause.

Caring for our Wingmen is what defines us as Airmen, so we must work to get to know our teammates and the challenges they face. We all have the same responsibility of creating the workplace we want and supporting the people we share our lives with.

Bridge Chat topics are posted here monthly to encourage small group discussions within teams. Beginning the process of recurring discussions can be difficult, but will become easier with time and reinforce the Flying Tiger culture.

To help us initiate and facilitate these discussions, we have included a guide that defines roles and ground rules.

The Flying Tiger Bridge Chat Facilitator provides facilitator trainings for base personnel. Their goal is to create squadron facilitators who take action on ACC's goal of equipping, engaging and empowering Airmen with resilience tools and create high-performing teams who look out for each other. To schedule training, contact 229-257-3211.
