I received an email alert today that there would be a ceremonial flyover of 4 F-16s over the Air Force Memorial. I went to Prospect Hill in Arlington, which overlooks the Memorial. The F-16s did not pass directly over the Memorial as I hoped, so these three photographs tell the story. In the third photo, the #3 plane is in a full afterburner vertical climb maneuver the # 3 plane does this as the “missing man” formation which is a military tradition in honor of the deceased. It is usually assigned to the pilot who has the most experience or is connected to the event.
