AIRMAN First Class (A1C) Sean Reid, USAF, claws at the air like a tiger to signal to the F-16CJ Fighting Falcon pilot that the jet is now cleared for its mission. Both A1C Reid and the pilot are assigned to the 20th Fighter Wing (FW), 79th Fighter Squadron (FS), "Tigers", and the claw gesture is an esprit de corps sign given between squadron members. The 20th Fighter Wing is currently undergoing Operational Readiness Inspection (ORI) CORONET WHITE 02-07 by the Air Combat Command Inspector General (ACC IG)
