U.S. Air Force F-16C Fighting Falcons make a morning attack on enemy targets during Operation Desert Storm. This painting pays tribute to the 388th Tactical Fighter Wing from Hill Air Force Base, Utah for its participation in the liberation of Kuwait in February 1991. Thiokol Propulsion's Huntsville Division produced solid rocket motors for the Hughes AGM-65 Maverick and Raytheon AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles used in history's greatest aerial attack.

Artist's note: The caption reflects the 1991 timeframe.
